As a general rule, travel to and from the place of work is a personal expense and cannot be deducted by a W2 employee or a Schedule C non-employee. So, if you ciaim your place of work is home and travel to the University is travel to a different job location, it is going to be difficult to justify. What's your address shown as on the 1099-MISC?

In this case, should I just try to deduct books, supplies, etc? Would food, uber rides to school, also count? thank you!
