Can You Write Off Mileage to Job Sites?
Short answer: Trips to temporary job sites are deductible for self-employed contractors, even from home; W-2 workers can't deduct them.
A temporary site is one expected to last a year or less.
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.
