The IRS allows taxpayers to claim a deduction for transportation expenses if they are incurred while traveling between the taxpayer's residence and a temporary work location. However, commuting expenses between a taxpayer's residence and a permanent work location are generally not deductible.

In this case, Amy is permanently assigned to Garnet Corporation from September through November, which makes it her regular place of work and not a temporary work location. Therefore, her commuting mileage from home to Garnet and back is not deductible.

The only exception to this rule is if Amy has a second job or business, which requires her to travel to other work locations during the day. In that case, she might be able to claim a deduction for the mileage between Garnet and the other work locations. However, that information is not provided in the question, so we have to assume that Amy has only one job and one work location.
