Business mileage from home

Can You Write Off Business Mileage From Home?

Short answer: If your home is your principal place of business, trips from home to clients are business miles from the first one.

Without a qualifying home office, the first and last trips of the day are commuting.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
