I think salesmen often make their first and last stops of the day near their home to maximize deductible mileage.

This is how I do it. Being an independent contractor does not mean your commuting miles are deductible, so you do not include going to/from your home. However, people like myself with day jobs can take the mileage from my workplace to the game.

My tax professional disagrees.
