<prompt> Human: Hello, Im working 125 miles from home for the rest of the year 6 days a week 10 hpyrs a day. My company is paying for an apartment in this city im working at. We get a work truck as well. We can only use the work truck for work purposes. We cannot drive it home on the weekend. I usually go home every weekend which is a 250 miles roundtrip. Before we got work trucks, we had extra per diem for gas because we took our personal cars to work, but now that we get a work truck, they took our gas per diem. My question is can i deduct those traveled miles next tax season? Or is that a personal choice to drive back home?  <response>: W2 employees cannot deduct any business expense. That deduction ended in exchange for the larger standard deduction
