=. To Advise and Consent: The United States Congress and
Foreign Policy in the Twentieth Century
Joel H. Silbey Hardcover, September 1995

The Constitution of the United States grants the president
powers to appoint certain officers and judges with the
Advice and Consent of the Senate.

Allen Drury made a deliberate call to say the Senate offers
Advise and Consent, both nouns in his reading. Both paid
for in quid pro quo.

I suspect the Silbey book is either a tribute to Drury or a
typo.

No, but it looks as if you may meet the 50 mile minimum for
moving expenses.

It sounds to me as though your "tax home" is where your work
is. You are not on temporary assignment. That is where you
work and that is where you have worked since you took the
job. You cannot deduct the cost of traveling from your tax
home to your family home.

Even if you could, it is unlikely that it would do you any
good. You would report the mileage at 37.5 cents per mile
on a form 2106, Employee business expense and it would
become a misc. itemized deduction. Unless they total more
than 2% of your AGI, these deductions are worthless.

From what you post - NO! The temporary commute is not
because of a temporary job location - which would be
deductible - but because of a temporary housing location,
which isn't deductible. The primary issue here is the
concept of your "Tax Home" which has nothing to do with
where you live, but has everything to do with where you earn
your money.

If you took this expecting the job to be a permanent
position, it's commuting and you get no deduction.

I recently too a job about 140 miles away from my current
house. I travel back and forth twice a week as per the
schedule below.

Monday: to work (140 miles)
Wednesday: to home (140 miles)
Thursday: to work (140 miles)
Friday: to home (140 miles)

I stay with a friend in the evenings so I incur no lodging
expenses. We have just purchased a house in the area and so
I am about to move and stop making this trip. I am employed
as a full time employee, not as a contractor and I do not
have a home office.

Can I deduct the milage on my 2004 Tax return?

Thanks,
troy
