But on the 2441 there is no place to put a mileage
deduction. Why? You can't deduct mileage which would be
considered "commuting" and since mileage to and from daycare
is not business miles, it is not a deductible expense on
Schedule C. Nor on form 2441.

It's not deductible.

Yes.

Heck no! Day care expenses are a whole 'nuther ball game,
viz. form 2441.

Default mileage deduction allowed for taking child to daycare so can work?

Does anyone know if on 1040 Sch C line 9 one can include the
cost of taking a child to daycare so that the adult can go
work? Thanks, -MB
