Can I deduct miles in-between hospitals?

The art of knowing what to deduct. Classic rule that you need to think about as a resident, especially with > $3/gallon.
When you are rotating at different hospitals, after you leave the first hospital (say you came for am conference before going to VA) - you deduct the miles from hospital 1 to hospital 2 to home (within day).

This applies to home call also when you drive back in - nice!

But use a daily planner and mark the miles, ALONG with your odometer reading.
It adds up!!

More deduction items to come in the future

Subject to itemized deductions at year's end and the 2% AGI floor of course.

Ahhhh. But will I get hit with capital gains tax if I fill my gas tank and hence double the value of my car? :laugh:

From my limited understanding you can deduct any location after the 1st location you've driven from.

So if you need to go to 3 places in 1 day, any distance after the first location is deductable.

But from what I understand you need to document where you went to, and on what days.
