    There is no tax deduction for driving back and forth to work regardless of how far that drive may be.

    No. This does not qualify. Driving from home to work or from work to home is commuting and no deductions are allowed for commuting.

    Commuting is NOT deductible.

    Nope…it does not qualify for a tax deduction in the U.S. This is a good way to get an audit from the IRS.

    No, you can’t use your personal vehicle as a tax deduction. Commuting to and from work does not qualify for using it as a tax deduction. Doing so is cheating and, if caught, you could face significant fines and interest.

    Driving to and from work is called commuting expense and is never deductible, even if it WAS your own business.
