[Event] Ask the Experts: Tax Breaks For Your Side Gig

@AdamD1  I agree, it is a little confusing!!

The IRS generally considers the travel between your home and your first business stop of the day, and your last business stop of the day back to your home, to be non-deductible commuting. This is regardless of whether you're "available" for work during those times. Miles from home to your first pickup and from your last drop-off back home are generally commuting and not deductible, even if your app is on.
