Tax Question...
Should your commute factor into your taxes?... Especially if you take mass transit like LIRR?

Thanks for answering

Re: Tax Question...
Your employer may have a qualified transportation expense program that allows you to deduct a portion of the cost of the LIRR.
I think the maximum monthly "transportation" allowance by law is $115. Still not enough for a monthly ticket (nevermind the additional cost of the subway). 
This is an employer benefit though, so your employer has to participate.
I do know you can't deduct your transportation to go to and from your job on your taxes.
