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.
This will be required whether you claim actual vehicle expenses or base your deduction on mileage driven. Unless you have a home office, any mileage to the first business stop of the day and from your last business stop of the day to home, is generally considered to be non-deductible commuting mileage.
