Mileage deduction

I practice in my home state as well as another state. I am self employed in both states. Am I able to deduct mileage between states? From what I have read, this is deductible if you plan to do it less than one year, but my local accountant said it's deductible even long term. Any input?

The IRS website says, "You can deduct travel expenses paid or incurred in connection with a temporary work assignment away from home. However, you can't deduct travel expenses paid in connection with an indefinite work assignment. Any work assignment in excess of one year is considered indefinite." So that is where the one-year limit comes in. But if you're traveling intermittently away from your "tax home" on business trips to another location, expenses related to that work travel can be deducted indefinitely.

Work in 2 different places out of states ( even a few shifts here and there) and that solves that problem.

When I travel out of state, I see patients at multiple facilities that are expected to continue long term for over 1 year. Does this allow me to deduct the mileage? Thanks
