Regarding gas reimbursement?

Question

when i was hired i was told i had to use my own car for work, covering numerous locations, but was given a gas card to cover gas. gas cards were then taken away and replaced with an allowance. my question is since i have to travel to work at different locations is commute mileage factored in or does the mileage start at the first business location?

Answer 1

You need to ask your employer.  If you drive to your office first, then I would figure mileage from the office to my first business location and so on.  However if I were driving from home, I would count mileage from the first business location.  Most times you don't get reimbursed for driving from home to work.
