Can I as a remote employee who uses my car for work appointments deduct mileage?

I am a nurse case manager and I travel for work to different places on a daily basis.

If you are an employee you can’t deduct mileage. Some employers compensate employees for travel expenses when travel is extensive.

No. Under the current tax laws (TCJA), the federal deduction for "Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses" is suspended for W-2 employees.

Because you are an employee (W-2) rather than an independent contractor (1099), the IRS does not allow you to deduct mileage as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Form 1040. This applies even if your travel is mandatory and your employer does not reimburse you.

While the federal government says no, several states still allow W-2 employees to deduct mileage on your state-level tax return even if you can't do it federally.
