This past year I worked as an independant contractor for a in-home tutoring service....I recieved a 1099-MISC for this income. I have to file a 1040 this year, not my usual 1040A.

I have to fill out Schedule C or C-EZ with my 1040. I was wondering if I could subtract my round-trip commutting miles to and from my client's home as business expenses to calculate my total profit? I have very detailed records and invoices of my visits and I have each and everyone of their address to get my round trip mileage. I assume I would use the 44 1/2 cent per mile rate?

I think I'm doing it right but I'm not sure......Anyone know anything about this?
