<prompt> Human: Im looking to lease a new car. Honestly I really dont have much use for my car other than work commute full time as graphic designer. I also freelance graphic design on the side so commuting to see clients might also factor somehow. I found this link and now I have questions. If I keep track of business related miles, can I write off some of my lease as a work expense?  <response>: Commuting expenses. You cant deduct the costs of taking a bus, trolley, subway, or taxi, or of driving a car between your home and your main or regular place of work. These costs are personal commuting expenses. You cant deduct commuting expenses no matter how far your home is from your regular place of work. You cant deduct commuting expenses even if you work during the commuting trip.
