I am a W2 employee with 1099 Sole proprietorship as a side hustle. My W2 job is an hour commute from my house. If I have my home office as the primary business location, but get a small office or coworking space close to my current W2 job, could I then use my drive from home to the secondary office as a tax deductible event. Then my commute to my W2 is just to and from my secondary office?
