If you work from home and use your car from business then you will want to know the rules on deducting mileage. In order to qualify, your home must meet the home office limitations (whether you claim the home office or not). That means you must have an area of the home that is exclusively and regularly used as the principal place of business. If that is the case, then all the mileage you conduct for business will be deductible. Otherwise, it is considered commuting and only trips between clients would be deductible. For more details see
this helpful website.
