Either way, the key is to KEEP GOOD RECORDS. Like others, a good spreadsheet is usually all you need.

It's amazing how this one topic has been disagreed on by various tax pros over the years. You'd think it would be cut-and-dried for some reason.
Anyhow, what about those of us who work from a home office full time (for my day job). Would the tax pro say I'm not entitled to *any* officiating related mileage?
