Commuting miles

Varies

Can I Write Off Commuting Miles?

Short answer: No: driving from home to your regular workplace is commuting and never deductible.

Trips from a qualifying home office to clients, or between job sites, are deductible business miles.

Records to keep: Keep a contemporaneous mileage log (date, miles, business purpose), business-use percentage, the purchase contract, and a photo of the door-jamb GVWR sticker.
