Mark Kohler breaks down when you can deduct mileage. Regular trips to one business location don't count as deductions, even with a home office. But if you have multiple business locations, the miles between them are deductible.

All of you out there should know as a business owner, if you leave your home office to go do business, you should be able to write off your mileage. That's the general rule. If I'm out doing business away from my primary business location or my home office, visiting customers, clients, business locations, I'm picking up stuff at Staples, Apple Store, whatever, I get to write off those miles. That's the general rule. But if I have a business location that I go to every day or repeatedly as a business location, then I can't write those miles off because it's equivalent to commuting if I'm going there on a repeated basis because it's another business location of mine, even if I have a home office. Next caveat. Well, let's say I have multiple business locations. Joe says here, hey, I might get multiple beehive locations. Okay, now it's a different story. When I leave the office, home office to go to my first beehive location, that's commuting because I have to go there on a regular basis, but from that beehive location and I go to the other ones, that is not commuting and I have to get to these other locations and then I come home, that's commuting. So a portion of it would be a write off going in between these.
