IRS publications say that you can deduct mileage driven from your home to work sites if your home is your principal place of business. But itâs actually more complicated than that: to qualify as a principal place of business, your home office must be used regularly and exclusively as your principal place of business.
Thus, if you have an office in your home from which you conduct a business, and you deduct this office on your taxes, you can deduct the cost of driving there from another workplace. This is what youâre doing when you drive from your employee office to your home office to work on your freelance business.ecause of these rules, the driving you do from home may not be tax deductible, even if it is business-related. The basic rule that the IRS follows is that commuting is a personal expense that is never deductible.
