No. Travel to and from a primary place of employment is not covered.
If you travel in the course of your business, you can write off car expense (gas, oil, insurance, parking, tolls, etc.) on a pro-rata basis, provided you have records to support those out of pocket expenses, and they are not reimbursed by the employer.

If you receive a 1099 instead of a W-2 and considered a independant contractor and you are not required to report directly to the office each morning then your first stop is considered at work from there all miles are deductible until you leave your last stop. Be careful with this, the IRS loves these types of deductions just be ready to prove your expenses or mileage. If you receive a W-2 FORGET IT!!!

No, that state needs to get their act at the same time and push through a improve contained in the gasoline tax. the present gasoline tax supplies incentive for persons to purchase effectual autos and can help you narrow back reliance on fossil fuels. A in accordance to mile tax will get rid of this incentive. It does aspect out that there are possibilities for a decrease cost for effectual autos and if you stay away from particular elements, yet i imagine that would only make concerns extra complicated. at the moment, an worry-free gasoline tax is the suitable answer, and if the human beings of Oregon do not favor to toughen it, then i imagine it really is of their authorities's suitable pastime to convince the human beings. some courageous politicians would no longer get reelected in doing this, yet i imagine it will be for the added ideal.

No, unless you are required to travel on behalf of the company. Commuting expense is not deductible. Try Car pooling.

Commuting to/from work is a personal expense and never deductible. Sorry.
If you work commission or are self-employed AND travel to customers, then you may have an opportunity.

As far as the IRS is concerned, it is a personal choice not to live at the office. Therefore commuting expenses are personal not business expenses. As such they are not deductible.
