As an independent studies teacher, I travel to visit my students. I work for the state but I work mostly from my home. Can I deduct mileage for my student meetings?

Are you a W-2 employee?   Or are you an independent contractor?    Do you get a 1099NEC?  If you are an independent contractor then your milage goes on a Schedule C.   

-W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses
