There is a caveat that might help get you some money back:

If you have a temporary job assignment, which you reasonably expect to last (and which does last) less than a year, you can deduct the travel expenses. I used that provision during one of the many times that CommutAir closed a domicile on me, which helped defray the travel costs.

I deducted the driving expense to Syracuse (550-mile round trip), while I waited for my apartment lease to expire so I could move to a different base. At the current rate of 50.5 cents per mile, that was a deduction of $277.75 for each roundtrip to my domicile. That helped a lot. If you're commuting indefinitely, you can't use this provision, but it might help some folks here.


Here's some information from the IRS; look at page 4, specifically:
