What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I am a W-2 employee from M-F 9-5. (location 1) Taxable gross ~ $70,000.
I am also self-employed at two locations on the weekends. (location 2 and 3) These two locations are 400 miles apart. I drive from 2 to 3 TWICE a month = 19,200 miles per year.
The total income received from work locations 2 and 3 for 2009 is $2. (yes $2) All work done at locations 2 and 3 are strictly for my family. Basically, I volunteer legitimate professional services for a disabled family member but I cannot claim this person as a dependent.
My question is, can I deduct the standard mileage for commuting between locations 2 and 3 even if I didn't make any substantial income from this?
Thank you.
