Dear Bernie, You'll need to speak with a tax preparer or accountant about the specifics of your situation, but the short answer is that yes, you probably can get a tax deduction for the miles you drive in your car to different construction sites.
You can write off mileage to another area if you took the trip primarily to find a job in the same field in which you're working. Your mileage from one potential employer to another within the area qualifies, even if your trip into the area doesn't. The IRS allows you a deduction at 56 cents per mile in 2014, Job-search mileage and other miscellaneous expenses are deductible only to the extent they are above 2 percent of your adjusted gross income.
