Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Amy is required to travel to Garnet for work purposes, her mileage from home to Garnet and from office to Garnet is deductible. Therefore, her deductible mileage per workday is:
Home to Garnet (30 miles) + Office to Garnet (35 miles) = 65 miles
However, the mileage from her home to the office is considered commuting mileage and is not deductible. Therefore, the 10-mile commute from home to the office cannot be included in her deductible mileage. Thus, her total deductible mileage for each workday is 65 - 10 = 55 miles. Since this deduction is for three months, the total deductible mileage for the period is 55 miles (per workday) x 5 (workdays per week) x 12 (number of weeks in the period) = 3300 miles.
