I have a business license in order to be a caregiver for my mom. I have to travel from my home which is listed on my business license. Can I deduct that Mileage?

No. That is commuting to work. Commuting to and from work is not deductible.

Yes. Since you are a self-employed caregiver, your travel to and from your place of work are deductible as well as any mileage on behalf of her care.

It sounds like she is an independent contractor.
