Milage to supervise sporting events

[lrobinson]

I am a high school principal and have to travel to supervise sporting events in different towns.  Is the milage deductible?

[Melaine · Accepted solution]

Yes, You will be able to claim the mileage from the school to the event and then home.  However, remember that employee business expenses are a limited deduction.  You can claim them only if:

     You can itemize deductions, and

     they exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income.

To learn more on claiming mileage and the options you have please read car expenses in the IRS Publication 463.
