Am I eligible for a tax deduction if I deduct mileage driving from my main job (w-2) to my second job (1099)?

    Hi! Generally, commuting miles are miles driven are the miles driven from your home to a permanent work location (like your main office) and back home. Business miles on the other hand, include trips taken for business purposes, such as traveling from one job site to another or driving from your main office to a job site. If both of those job sites you are referring to are permanent job offices, than that would not be considered deductible business mileage. However, if you go to different job sites, this would be considered business mileage.
