**Summary:** Regular home-to-work-and-back trips, usually NOT deductible or reimbursable.

- Regular commuting (home-to-office-to-home) is treated as personal expense by most tax authorities — it is not deductible as business expense nor should it be reimbursed by the employer.
- The typical exception is commuting to a temporary work location (client site, training) or from a formal home-office to a client.
- Confusing commuting with deductible mileage is the most common audit mistake.
