Employee Driving

Today TaxMama hears from B ored in Skokie, Il, who tells us, “My job requires a lot of travel to clients. My boss states that the IRS law for reimbursement is that he can only reimburse the mileage from the office to a client and from a client to the office.

The issue is, that I usually have to be at the client at the beginning of business, the same time the office would open. So there is no way or reason to go to the office.

Then I would leave a client who is an hour away at end of business day and head straight home.

Is there no reimbursement from my home to a client and back?”

Dear Bored,

Of course there is! IRS certainly permits mileage reimbursements to and from clients’ offices, even if you come from home.
