For those who work from their home, here are some good pointers in deducting the mileage from your home to the various points of business that you will need to go to (Post Office, Supplies, Clients, Bank, etc.).
Your home must be regularly and exclusively used as the principal place of business. This can be met if you use it regularly for admin or management activities like bookkeeping and you don't have another fixed location that is set aside for those activities. Be sure that a room or at least portion of a room is used just for these business purposes (i.e. your kitchen table won't qualify).
