college student has summer job out of state and gets a 1099 misc for wages. She doesn't really have a business, but in the eyes of the irs she does. The job provides housing for her, but she has 2200 miles in traveling from housing to job site and approx. 1000 miles from college to the housing. Can she deduct this mileage?

No, only if she went from school to work in the same day.

Thanks for your reply. Why wouldn't this be considered a temporary job and the mileage be deducted on sch c? she says that her coworkers told her she could deduct the mileage. i have been researching this and so far haven't found anything close to this situation.

Because if she goes home each day and travels to the office and back home from the office it is called commuting mileage and commuting mileage is not deductible

also, if she does not really have a business then she does not really have business mileages
