1099 Mileage Deduction Question

craec1994 · ‎June 1, 2019

I do freelance AV for a comedy club so I have a 1099-MISC. I want to enter my mileage for my personal car because I use it to drive from my full time job to go to this freelance job.. are those miles that I drive from one workplace to the other considered qualifying miles driven related to this freelance job for me to claim or not? Very confused.

The miles driven from the W-2 job to the freelance job and business miles.

For someone who is considered self-employed:

Yes - If you are self-employed contractor, you can claim a deduction for miles driven to a job assignment. The starting point must be a home, an office or a job location, and the destination must also be a home, an office or a job location. You cannot deduct miles driven for other reasons even if you drove the same vehicle. The IRS requires you to take relatively straight routes from one location to another
