Mileage that you drive for a job as an employee is a job-related expense.

 

Up to tax year 2017, job-related expenses were deductible as an itemized deduction subject to the 2% of AGI floor.

 

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the itemized deductions for job-related expenses subject to the 2% of AGI floor are suspended for expenses incurred after December 31, 2017 through 2025.

 

Therefore, your mileage as an employee and other job-related expenses are no longer deductible for tax year 2023.

As a temporary employee I travel more than 100 miles from home received no per diem Was my travel and hotel expenses deductible

Q. As a temporary employee I travel more than 100 miles from home received no per diem Was my travel and hotel expenses deductible?

A. Simple answer: No, as explained at the other reply.

 

But, it somewhat depends on what "temporary employee" means. If you will be receiving a W-2 for this work, then you are a regular employee, even though the job is temporary, and your commuting expenses are not deductible. 

 

But, if you are being treated as an independent contractor, and will be receiving a 1099-NEC, then the expenses are (probably) deductible as business expenses.
