Unfortunately, you can no longer deduct the mileage. Miscellaneous deductions subject to the 2% limit, including unreimbursed job expenses (reported on Form 2106) have been repealed for tax years 2018 – 2025. Self-employed (Schedule C) filers can still deduct these business-related expenses, as they have in the past. The repeal of unreimbursed work-related deductions only affects wage- and salary-earning employees who don’t own a business or work as a contractor. Affected deductions include:
Job-search expenses
Home office†
Union dues†
Work-related travel, mileage, and transportation (including DOT per diem)†
Work-related meals, entertainment, gifts, and lodging†
Work-related tools and supplies†
Specialized clothing or uniforms†
Work-related education†
Investment fees and expenses
Safe deposit box rental fees
Depreciation on computers used for work† or investments
Membership in professional societies†
Subscriptions to professional journals or trade magazines†
Licenses and regulatory fees†
Malpractice insurance†
Tax-preparation fees†
Tax advice fees†
Educator expenses in excess of $250
Appraisal fees for casualty losses or donations
Hobby expenses

The IRS has a provision that can help homeowners avoid capital gains on the sale of their primary residence. To qualify,
You must have owned your home and used it as your main residence for at least two years in the five-year period before you sell it.
You also must not have excluded another home from capital gains in the two-year period before the home sale.
If you meet those rules, you can exclude up to $250,000 in gains from a home sale if you’re single and up to $500,000 if you’re married filing jointly.

If you qualify for the exclusion to make all of your profit tax-free, don't report the home sale. But make sure all your paperwork is in order to show the IRS if it asks.

No Need. The IRS knows many people are in your position. They are going to waive the penalty.
