I’m self employed. When I drive my work truck from my home to a job, is that considered commuting?

Is there a clear definition of “commuting miles” for tax purposes?

Robert R asked:


I am a consultant, but I only have one customer. I typically go to the same place 4 or 5 times a week, but it is 65 miles away from me, in another state. Is my 130 mile daily round trip ALL commuting miles or is there some sort of a limit? I heard if you travel over a certain distance, some portion of that MAY deductible. Does anyone have any info on that?
