Default Re: Tax write-off question

[ QUOTE ]
How do you write off the travel expenses to & from the WS?

The reason I ask is, I can't find a line on the 1040 Tax form where you can deduct milage driven on a private car for a job. Any one have any idea?

It's on Schedule A under "unreimbursed employee expenses" (line 20). In that whole "Job Expenses and Certain Miscellaneous Deductions" section, only the amount over 2% of your AGI are deductible. Then your itemized deductions are only deductible if they are over your standard deduction. So, you might not get that much of a deduction.
