Business Mileage Question

[Nick-Zack]

I recently switched sales jobs and now my house is actually in my territory. For the past year I had a 40 minute commute to get to my territory. Back then I started tracking business mileage when I actually entered my territory.

Now that my house is actually in my territory I am guessing that all mileage from when I leave home can be written off. This company is also paying for my gas which the previous company didn't. Until I talk to my accountant I am going by the presumption that I will be able to deduct the standard mileage multiplier minus the actual gas cost that I am being reimbursed for.

If anyone can confirm this or tell me the actual deduction please let me know.
