As a Home Health Aide, I travel to several different clients assigned to me by two agencies. Is my mileage deductible?

I receive a W-2 from one agency with taxes withheld. I receive a 1099Misc from the other agency. Am I allowed to deduct mileage to and from client's homes for both agencies?

From home to first destination (including maim location of employment) and from last destination back home is considered commuting expenses which are nondeductible.

However, miles traveled between the two are deductible.

For your 1099-MISC income, if you maintain a business office in your home, you can deduct all mileage from home back to home, but you must meet certain qualifications to maintain a home office:
