Sorry so late to reply but I wanted to be a little clearer on the rules before I responed.
Barry, I am not disagreeing with you out of hand, but I would hope you can provide a clearer explanation as to why we can't deduct the mileage from the game to home.
As I reviewed the IRS tax publication covering this (Pub. 463) it would appear to me that you are basing your interpretation on that being an sports official is a second job. Why can't it be considered as a temporary work location? We are clearly not working at the same place day to day. And we don't have a resonable expectation that the job will last regularly over a year. If we are able to consider ourselves as temporary, we gain that deduction going from the game home regardless you are coming first from a primary job.
A little help on this would be greatly appreciated.
