Tax Year Prior to 2020: I traveled 85 miles a day, one way, to a jobsite for 7 months of last year. I was told i claim those miles. Is this true?

Yes, as long as it was a temporary job location, you can deduct the mileage since it was outside of your metropolitan work area.

 If it is for a job for with you work as an "employee" receiving a W-2, and they are not reimbursed to you, then you can deduct them as an Unreimbursed Employee Business Form 2106.  It goes on Schedule A Itemized Deductions in the Misc section subject to a 2% of Adjusted Gross Income threshold.  If you itemize deductions (as opposed to the Standard Deduction), and your expenses are high enough, it may benefit you.

Where do I enter job-related employee expenses? (Form 2106)
