A tax question...

[rockgremlin]

I drive close to 80 miles round trip/day to and from my place of employment. Can't some or all of that mileage be written off?

According to IRS Publication 529:

Commuting Expenses
You cannot deduct commuting expenses (the cost of transportation between your home and your main or regular place of work). If you haul tools, instruments, or other items in your car to and from work, you can deduct only the additional cost of hauling the items, such as the rent on a trailer to carry the items.

Here's the entire pub if you wanna go over it:
