Seems there are two issues being discussed. What the IRS allows you to deduct is one issue. What you are able to bill the customer is a separate issue and might include travel time or a simple mileage fee completely unrelated to how the IRS figures it.

I have two tuning in the same day. (a) 30 miles from home (base) one way (b) 40 miles from home (base) one way (a) 30 miles x 2 = round trip from home (base) = 60 miles x 55 cents per mile = $33.00 mileage charge (b) 40 miles x 2 = round trip from home (base) = 80 miles x 55 cents per mile = $44.00 mileage charge Total mileage charge = $77.00 -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler at att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years
