Lesa drives her car approximately 18,000 miles per year. During the most recent year, she drove 7,000 miles commuting to and fro
m work, 4,500 miles for business-related conferences and client visits, and 6,500 miles for personal trips. How many miles are considered business miles and can be used to determine the tax deduction for transportation expenses?
Lesa can only deduct 4,500 miles as transportation expenses form her taxable income. She could include any other related expenses like parking fees, tolls, etc., that she spent during her business related trips.
The 7,000 miles she drove to and form work are not considered business expenses, since going to work is not an actual part of working. It's like an employee trying to get paid for the time he or she spends in a bus going to work.
