Answer 1

Ruth,

The IRS does have a provision for medically related mileage costs.  It's not as high as the business allowance, but you can claim 19 cents per mile on your taxes.

Here's the website:  http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,i...

This is the announcement made by the IRS.  There's a link to the actual tax code document.
