OTOH, if you go directly from your day job work place to your officials job work place, that is considered transportation expenses, not commuting, and is deductable.

CAVEAT: I am not an attorney. The above is my opinion of the tax law only.
Your opinion is incorrect, based on a post by a CPA on the Basketball board.
