OT? write-offs for business commute

If you are really talking about commuting then it is not deductible.
Commuting is travel from your home to your place of work and is not a
"business expense". Business travel (or any other expense) is deductible to
the extent that it is an "ordinary and nessesary" business expense.

I'm in the process of taking flying lessons and working toward my
license. Does anyone in this NG fly their private plane for a
business commute? If so, is it possible to get tax deductions for
travel expenses? I'm just thinking ahead.
Out of curiosity, how many here have an accountant for taxes, and
how many file on their own? I've used an accountant for years, but
most people I know do it online now. I'm trying to decide if I
should switch this year.

Warm wishes,
