I currently work from home 3 days a week and travel to the office (90 miles each way) once a week. Am I able to deduct miles that I travel to & from office each week?

I have been doing this since March 2016. I have not been keeping a log of miles, but I estimated 7200 miles were driven to the office (10 months*4 weeks/month= 40)* 180 miles Round Trip from home office to Corporate office.

It depends No - If your corporate office is considered...

It depends

No - If your corporate office is considered your primary work location (and your home office is just for your own convenience and not your primary work location) as an employee, the travel between your home and corporate office will be considered commuting miles and are not deductible.

Yes - If your home office is considered your primary work location and you need to travel to your company's corporate offices, as an employee, you will be able to take business miles on this round trip.

Business miles can be deductible if you are an employee (as a job-related expense, if you itemize and are subject to a 2% AGI limitation). Please note that you will only be able to take a job-related deduction for mileage as an employee for unreimbursed business miles.

To deduct unreimbursed business miles as an employee in TurboTax Online (for TurboTax Online sign-in, click Here) or Desktop, please follow these steps:

You would enter your unreimbursed employment expenses under Federal Taxes>Deductions and Credits> I'll choose what I work on (or jump to full list)> scroll down to Employment Expenses> Job-related expenses (start/update). Use the TurboTax guide to help you enter these expense.

Say "yes" to question "Did you have any of these expenses in 2015 for your W-2 income?" under the screen titled "Employment Expenses Related to a W-2".
after about 6 to 10 question screens, you will get to a screen titled "Job-Related Expenses" you can put this information here. List as "additional unreimbursed business miles"
