    Daily commute by train over 80 miles one way - tax rebate
    Hi,

    I commute from Baltimore MD to Wilmington DE daily via Amtrak. The distance covered by train is over 80 miles in one direction.

    Can I get tax rebate on my monthly train ticket while filing for taxes? If yes, how can I claim tax rebate? Do I need to do itemized deduction while filing taxes?

    Thanks

    Generally, travel expenses to and from work are not deductible.

    While the commute is NOT tax deductible, there ARE programs to subsidize the use of public transportation to cut down on congestion.

    I suggest you check into that.
