When you do get 'expert' advice you want to be sure they're current. My wife had help from a former CPA relative a few years ago and was advised to claim mileage from our house to some students she tutored on weekends. The IRS contacted her this year and it's going to be expensive. As I said earlier, the laws do change.

Depending on the situation, this can be supported. As in any case, "facts and circumstances" dictate what can be treated as deductible v. non-deductible. Mileage in general is typically not fun to support though when examined by the IRS because usually want to see daily logs. Good luck.
Bigdog - sent you a PM a few days ago with a generic response to your question above.
