Only if its work related, from home to work you cant.
Hi, I'm an independent contractor myself, and I don't get mileage to and from the office. I don't think I've heard an independent contractor that claim their mileage.

Can you file a claim against employer if you are an independent contractor?
Yes.
Can you claim gas and mileage for driving to work on your tax return?
not if you are going directly from your house to your job location. If you have to drive to a shop or office and then to a job location in your vehicle, then the mileage from the shop or office to your job location is deductible.
What if your job requires you work out of 2 different office locations Are you entitled to claim mileage when you travel out of town to the other location?
On your tax return, Yes.
A contractor and his subcontractor are working the same job and the sub damages the contractors equipment whos insurance pays?
The contractor should make a claim upon the sub-contractors insurance and/or bond. If the sub-contractor defrauded the contractor on having insurance and/or bonding in place then he should report the contractor to the State licensing board, file claim on their insurance, and civil lawsuit (if the insurance company does not directly file or pay).
Can I accept property money damages from both my contractor's insurance co and my homeowners insurance?
No!! It is highly illegal for you to do this. When you make a claim on you home insurance for something that was the fault of your contractor you sign over all subjugation rights against this contractor to your insurance company. This means that if your home insurance pays any part of this claim you give them all your rights to go after the contractor, which they will do. They will go to the contractor and their insurance company to get reimbursed for any amount they paid plus costs. In most states it is considered insurance fraud for you to even try to collect damages from two places for the same claim.
If you carry a ghost policy as a sub can you still file against the contractor?
No, you cannot file against the contractor if you carry a ghost policy as a sub. The only way to file against the contractor is via a worker's compensation claim.
Can you claim gas and mileage for driving to a meeting for work if it is not at your job location?
Some companies do let you claim gas and mileage for driving to a work meeting. You should check with your company before making the trip.
Does your homeowners cover damage due to remodeling your home?
Generally speaking no. If the contractor did damage intentionally you could file a vandalism claim but you would also need to file a police report. If the contractor was negligent, you could file a claim with their commercial liability insurer.
Employer says i am an independent contractor but i am not no workmens comp what do i do?
Contact the WC carrier and file your claim, if you have been injured. While you sort this out, you don't want to miss the window in which you can file the claim. If you're saying the EMPLOYER doesn't have Comp - rather than saying YOU don't have Comp, contact an attorney - in fact, interview a few & compare. In many states, nicknamed "ladder states," even if you are an independent contractor, the company or person who hires you has to provide Comp if you don't have it, or remain liabile. They're called "ladder states" because liability goes up the ladder to the top guy. If you have not been injured, ask your agent about Occupational Accident coverage, which is very similar to Comp in benefits - but not exactly - and ask the company you work for why they want to list you as an independent contractor. Especially if you're in a ladder state. Your state board of insurance can help you determine if you're in a ladder state.
