What you must decide
1 conditionsPublished beside the figure, and never applied for you.
An ordinary employee cannot deduct these miles at all
Since tax years beginning after 2017, unreimbursed employee travel is not deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction. The standard mileage rate still answers for the self-employed, and, as an adjustment to income rather than an itemised deduction, for Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, fee-basis state or local government officials, and disabled employees with impairment-related work expenses. Which of those the taxpayer is decides whether the figure is worth anything, and that is yours to know.
