My tax person has me claim all mileage to and from home. She has said that since officiating is self employment, all related mileage can be claimed. This is one reason why I have somebody prepare my taxes, I'd rather have her judgment to fall back on in an audit rather than my own.

BTW, I don't deduct my mileage. Maybe that is something I should think about doing.
Absolutely! Claiming mileage can greatly reduce your tax liability, and depending upon the amount of travel, camps and other related expenses, could result in you actually claiming a loss.

Again, I highly recommend seeing a tax professional.

It is a related expense.
