I mainly work from home, but will sometimes drive to my boss's house to work or drive to other places to run errands. Can I write off the mileage for that?</P> Sun, 01 Dec 2019 01:27:13 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/independent-contractor-deductions/01/959551#M628 chloehartounian 2019-12-01T01:27:13Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/re-independent-contractor-deductions/01/959672#M629 <P>independent contractors don't have bosses.....if you are an contractor you can write off mileage but not personal or commuting mileage....if you have a home office you can write off trips to other locations you are required to drive to for business.</P> Sun, 01 Dec 2019 18:36:43 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/re-independent-contractor-deductions/01/959672#M629 smarttees 2019-12-01T18:36:43Z
