I work 2 jobs, can I deduct travel expense to get from one job to another

Yes from home to first destination and last destination back home are commuting expenses, not deductible.
But you can deduct mileage from first to second job as an employee business expense.
To deduct employee business expenses, you must have enough itemized deductions (ie. Medical, mortgage interest, property taxes, charitable giving, ect) to exceed your Standard Deduction. If you itemize, your deduction is limited to the extent that it exceeds 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income.
So, you may not gain a tax benefit from this deduction.
Job-related expenses are reported on Form 2106 (Employee Business Expenses).

Yes, but in what occupation, did they not change the eligibility for deducting emp bus. exp. for almost all jobs.
The answer you read in this thread is old and was an response given before the tax laws changed. When they moved the responses from the old Answer Xchange to this new forum recently, the responses given for previous years all got 2019 dates assigned to them (stupid, we know) .
If you are a W-2 employee, you cannot deduct job-related expenses such as mileage now that the tax law changed for 2018.
Thank-you very much
