It depends. In general the ride from and to your home are not deductible. The rest of the mileage during the day (from one business location to another, not going out for lunch) is.

If you are driving from home or to home, then you don't deduct either direction.

You only deduct driving from one place that you work and don't live to another place that you work and don't live.

If you drive back to the first place that you work and don't live, then you deduct both directions.

All of the business miles both ways.

Round trip if you are going back.
