Can I claim the total mileage on my taxes to and from work for a freelance job

Can I claim the total mileage on my taxes to and from work for a freelance job?
It's 36 miles round trip. Can I claim all of that times the number of days I go to work? Thanks for your help.

Not unless it's a second job or driving is a part of the job
2 :
If this is a second job and you drive from the first one to the second one you can deduct the one-way miles from the first to the second. Otherwise it's not deductible.
3 :
commuting miles which is NEVER deductible is considered the mileage from your home to where you work and you state you go to 'work' as a freelance this is not deductible the mileage for errands, calling on clients and other things would be considered, but not 'work' if you go from one job(your regular job) to the one you freelance, that mileage is deductible

It hasn't been around for long, but The Independent Profit Center is already one of the best money making programs on the internet. IPC is superior to most of the other online money making programs for various reasons. People are sick and tired of the 1 ups and 2 ups that really only reward the people who got in on the ground floor. The cost of getting started with IPC is also much lower than a lot of other programs. With IPC it is only a one-time purchase of $200 that is paid directly to the person promoting the site and then another one-time admin fee paid directly to IPC. There are no recurring fees and everyone gets paid on their first sale. With IPC Center many are in full profit mode within 24 to 48 hours. * No Pass Up Sales * No Split Sales * No Overpriced Membership Fees IPC provides ongoing training and support at no extra cost. There are many successful home based businesses online. This might be one worth looking at. http://realmoney4life.com/

A few thoughts: One service I've seen being done successfully by a "solo-practitioner" paralegal is corporate services, i.e. acting as the agent for corporations, taking care of corporate filings with the secretary of state (incorporation documents, annual reports, etc.) and various corporate formalities like organizing the minute book and stock certificates, etc. If you have more of a litigation background, there's probably some contract work available from time to time from solo lawyers or firms whose own staff is overburdened by a large case - like reviewing and organizing discovery materials and the like. This would likely not be done out of your home, though.

Have a look at these freelance job sites. eLance costs money, but they are the largest. I normally use scriptlance. http://www.scriptIance.com http://www.gofreeIance.com http://www.eIance.com
