Terry, it is my understanding that you are not allowed to deduct the first leg of the day..in other words, if you have a 9:00am appointment and it is 6 miles from your house, you can not deduct that 6 miles. There's a way to get around it, and it's perfectly legal. I would be glad to tell you or anyone else what it is privately. There are ways..you just need to ask. Mileage is, for some, the single biggest deduction we have, and it is within our rights to do everything we can to deduct as many miles as we legally can. I am not an accountant, but I have a good one working for me who understands it all. Phil
