Commute reimbursement

[BRPORSCHE]

I didn't want to hack mike's thread so I'll just start my own.

I drive quite a long commute ~50 miles each way. Is there anything that the IRS offer's in the form of a reimbursment?

Move. If over 50 miles can file for relocation credit. See IRS pub 521: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p521.pdf

I moved 2400 miles in 2008 for work and couldn't write it off because the total expenses were way less than the standard deduction and I didn't have enough other write-offs to make itemizing worthwhile. My rental income washed out my mortgage int., prop. taxes and depreciation.
