You are correct, you CANNOT deduct your normal to and from miles to work. You can however deduct your miles for any work related trips where you use your own car. For example, you could deduct the miles your drove to a customer worksite or if you drove to a conference. BUT only if your employer does not reimburse your for these miles. If you get paid for your miles, you CANNOT deduct them on your taxes.

You can't deduct mileage to and from work. I have a home office and travel a lot, so all of my mileage is deductible that I use for work. Of course you have to log that. They make logs for this purpose that you can pick up at any office supply store.
Of course as stated above if you are reimbursed for your mileage you can't claim them either.

If you were sent to a SHARP seminar in DC, but don't get to have a GSA, or claim mileage on DTS, you could claim it.

I tried to tell him he was wrong but the way he explained it to me that we are government employees traveling to work made me second guess myself... I'm gonna let him know tomorrow that he's wrong. |

It is my understanding if you drive to the same place to work everyday, NO. If you drive to different jobsites, such as a construction worker, YES.
From what some guy who does it told me. |

Link to the IRS website supporting the statements above about only deducting mileage in excess of normal daily commute and only if you do not get reimbursed from your employer: LINK
