<prompt> Human: Hello, in June I began working from home after a year of working for my current employer. I live about 90 miles away from my office, so my boss agreed that I would be more productive working from home and not spending 3 hours driving daily. The caveat to this was that I still have to be present in the office 2 days a week, and work from home the other 3. Would I be able to claim the gas as a tax deduction since I work from home now? If so, what information would be necessary? I dont have receipts but I do have bank statements and keep track in excel document of how much is spent per month on gas as part of my budget. Would this be something I would be able to still do through tax filing software or would I be better off with a CPA? Thanks.  <response>: Itemized deductions are claimed on Schedule A If your total itemized deductions are less than the standard deduction for your filing status, there is no benefit.Ordinary and necessary unreimbursed employee expenses are subject to a limitation.

Also, daily transportation expenses can be deducted if: 1 you have one or more regular work locations away from your residence or 2 your residence is your principal place of business and you incur expenses going between the residence and another work location in the same trade or business, regardless of whether the work is temporary or permanent and regardless of the distance.
