Sounds right to me. The only issue might be why your are calculating mileage round trip from home for both jobs rather than leaving home going to (a) leaving (a) going to (b) then leaving (b) and returning home, unless that's how you actually scheduled your appointments. I don't tend to do it that way but rather go from my home to my first appt, from there to my second, etc. until I'm done with my appointments and then return home. Otherwise, you are likely to calculate more business use miles than you actually put on your car which the IRS definitely doesn't like.

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 -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
