<prompt> Human: A friend told me I should start keeping track of my mileage to my job as a server so I can write it off when I do taxes. Is she correct? I was under the assumption that it was only for self employment.  <response>: Unless Im terribly mistaken, your friend is totally wrong. Even if youre not self-employed, you can usually write off mileage if its accrued while working, but not the mileage for your personal commute.
