Vehicle usage

I'm a W2 employee and work from home 3 days a week, and travel to another location 2 days a week. If I need to carry equipment to delivery or drop off at this location, am I entitled to milage as it's not just commuting, but also delivery equipment.

W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses

Since you are a W-2 employee, then your employee business expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.
