Outside of my full-time job, I do side-work for a company that pays me on a 1099 independent contractor basis. This side-work is always for the same company (which is different from the company I work for full-time) and requires me to drive from my home to their location and back approximately 10 days per month. Round-trip mileage is approximately 120 miles. Can I deduct mileage expenses from home to their location and back for this side-work since they are paying me on a 1099 independent contractor basis?
Hi, @aast12 , thanks for the question! But unfortunately, this sounds like commuting mileage, which is not deductible. This article goes into more detail.
Hope this helps, please let me know if not!
That article you sent specifies that EMPLOYEES cannot make commuter deductions which, to me, does not sound like the case for this individual since he is being payed on a contractor basis.
