Actually that depends. In my situation at my job when I write off my mileage the IRS does not allow you to write of the miles from home to work only the miles you drive from your first stop to your last, then from the last to home is not allowable.

If that was the case most everyone could write off their miles to and from work. It's the miles you drive once you get to work that are allowable in my case.
