Client works in construction, his commute is pretty long to and from work. He says he has always included his commuting miles on his taxes because he drives a lot, he is saying his prior tax preparer would only allow one way, not round trip miles. I told him we can't include the commute miles on the taxes but he says everyone at work does. Am I missing something??
If the commute is out of his tax home area, and the job is temporary, he can take the mileage. What your tax home area varies. I can't provide a cite right now, but 50 miles comes to mind. Also workers that report to a union hall to get jobs.
