Driving from home to work: Is it deductible?

Hello June,

I am a limousine driver. Can I deduct the cost of gas for getting to work and back? I was driving a company car and they paid for the gas. I was driving my car to the base to pick up the limousine.

Thanks.

Sorry, Lilka, you cannot. From home to work is considered a commute, and commuting costs are not deductible. Take a look at Auto Expense: From one work location to another .

Best,
