I did some videography assistant work for a friend this year and traveled to the sites for work. problem is that I am confused if I can deduct mileage or not? He operates out of his home and I drive myself to the gigs; so I don’t have an office, but I don’t really “run” a business out my home either as I consider myself a freelancer/subcontractor . Can I claim the mileage as a subcontractor? Does my “office” default to my home since there’s no business location and therefore I can claim it? And if I can, if I made any stops (in this case breakfast/church with a friend first) would I just calculate mileage as if I went there directly and minus out of way mileage?
