I leave my W-2 job to work telehealth at my home office. Is that mileage deductible?

No.  The travel to and from your W-2 job is commuting miles and not deductible.  The travel from your home to telehealth office is 0 miles. However, even if you had a separate location, the travel to the main location for your business is also considered commuting miles, and is not deductible.  If you left your home office to travel to another location for this work, such as to attend continuing education for this work, or any reason that is ordinary in this industry, that would be deductible business travel.
