Know the mileage between your home and your job or workplace. That is commuting. When you know how many days a week you go to work and the mileage round trip from home to work, that is commuting per week multiplied by 52 weeks is the total commuting mileage for the year.

The total mileage driven during the year,
The total commuting mileage driven during the year,
The total business mileage driven during the year,

You can deduct expenses related to business mileage only.
If you want to deduct actual expenses, you need to track your car gas receipts and record them.
Sometimes a deduction of actuals expenses might give you a higher deduction but requires more record keeping.
Sometimes taking IRS standard mileage deduction is a better deal if the car is old. It doesn’t require keeping your car gas receipts and recording them, but you still need to track your business mileage and other types of mileage driven as described above. The standard mileage deduction per mileage varies every year. The tax software will be up to date to apply the right deduction. Tax software will usually ask you questions and use your answers and data to figure out if claiming the actual business use of your car will result in a higher deduction for you or if the standard mileage is higher.
