I just started mystery shopping this week and I'm loving it. Its the perfect second job. But I have a few questions about claiming expenses.

First and most important: Mileage. I read online that the reimbursement rate is .568cents/mile. Now when I factor in my mileage am I counting all the miles between my house, the store, and then back to my house?

Second: I was wondering if a few of you could throw out some other common expenses that you count as deductions. Seems like mileage is the big one.

Thanks,

Kevin
