You daily round-trip commute is now a business deduction, due to a simple tax loophole that says: Any miles driven between two business locations are deductible business miles. The fact that one of those two locations just happens to be your Home Office is fine and dandy with the IRS.
You can write off mileage to another area if you took the trip primarily to find a job in the same field in which you're working. Your mileage from one potential employer to another within the area qualifies, even if your trip into the area doesn't. The IRS allows you a deduction at 56 cents per mile in 2014, Job-search mileage and other miscellaneous expenses are deductible only to the extent they are above 2 percent of your adjusted gross income.
