| The taxpayer is an S Corporation whose only shareholder is also the only employee. The S Corp's office ( such that it is ) is also the shareholder's residence. The S Corp has only one client. The shareholder performs 90+ % of his work at the client's office and the remaining at his residence. The mileage to and from the client's office has been treated as business miles.
My questions is...does the % of work performed at the client's office, at some point, affect the classification of the mileage as business miles? | |

| In my understanding these are not business mileage at all. If there is only one location and he is coming to and from the same location every day, this is commuting mileage.
Well, at least this is something that IRS auditor explained to me during an audit. | |

| My understanding was that mileage starts from your place of business. Therefore, if your office is out of your home, then mileage starts when you leave your home. | |
