Where do I deduct mileage from first job to second job

Yes. If you go to 2 or more job sites in a single day then the 2nd trip is deductible as an employee expense. For example you leave home drive 5 miles to the 1st job then drive 10 miles to the 2nd site. At the end of the day you drive 15 miles home. Only the 10 miles between jobs is deductible. The first trip in the morning, from home and the last trip at night back home are considered commuting and are not deductible.

You are allowed to deduct your mileage (57-1/2 cents/mile). TurboTax completes form  2106, which  then carries to Misc itemized deductions on Schedule A. The problem with this is that you only get to deduct that portion of  your misc deductions that exceed 2% of your AGI. and then only if your total  itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction.  

 In TurboTax, enter at:

Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version)

Deductions & Credits

Thank you!

Where do I deduct mileage from first job to second job

@Hal_Al 
Now what if you go from A ->B ->A->Home. is A->B and B->A expansible?  

 

Also what if A is on the way home and you stop in to do some work?

@standsalone84 Assuming A is your regular work place; both  A->B and B->A are deductible; even if A is on the way home 

 

Also be advised that, despite the June 2019 date, the old answer is no longer valid. The 2018 tax law eliminated job expenses for W-2 employees.  The self employed can still deduct mileage.
