As an National Guard member, can I use Form 2106 to deduct travel expenses if I traveled 160 miles total to and from work each day?

No, the deduction for National Guard and military reserve does not cover daily commutes, regardless of the distance traveled. If you're a member of the National Guard or military reserve, you may be able to claim a deduction for unreimbursed travel expenses paid in connection with the performance of services as a reservist that reduces your adjusted gross income. This travel must be overnight and more than 100 miles from your home.
