Yes, you will be able to claim unreimbursed business miles for work. However, any commuting miles will be considered by the IRS as nondeductible personal miles.
Business
miles can be deductible if you are an employee (as a job-related expense, if
you itemize and are subject to a 2% AGI limitation) or if you are self-employed
(as a business use of your vehicle) Also note that you will only be able to

business miles.
