mileage tax deduction and covid
I currently own my and live in a condo which I will rent out on July 1.
I will be moving out of state with my family on 15th june. Ideally I would have had my family just fly to the new location on 15th June and I would have joined them a few days later after making the necessary repairs before renting the place. But we have decided to drive instead due to COVID. I will have to drive my wife to the new destination because we have a 5 month old and my wife is not comfortable driving alone for 10-12 hours. So I will basically go to the new location on 15th June and then drive back in a couple of days to get the repairs done.
The question is whether I an take mileage deduction for my trip from the new location back to my original home for the repairs? ( There is one more thing complicating this scenario a bit. I still will be working during this time. However I can work from home and I would just have worked from home from the new location if not for the repairs. )
Please guide.
Thanks.
