If I used my car to bring necessary supplies from home, does that count as business use?

I stored required equipment for my job at home and brought it to work every day, but commuting miles do not normally count as business use, so I'm not sure if any of my miles on my only vehicle are deductible.

Doesn't matter. Employee job expenses are no longer deductible.

If you work as a contractor and you are going to a place of business to perform your job, you are allowed to deduct the mileage to and from that place of work. If you have your own business and are driving to your office, then it wont be deducted as a mileage expense.
