Wrong. Doesn't matter... Tax credit, tax deduction.... however you want to call it. I'll stick with tax deduction since it is what the IRS calls it. Anyway, You total your costs for air travel to/from work and it gets written off (deducted) your taxes at the end of the year... end result; free.

Sorry, you're wrong again...
IRS Publication 463 clearly says on page 5 in the table of deductions that airfare to/from work is deductable... and since the IRS is using the word deductable, again... I'll stick with it, instead of calling it a tax credit.
www.irs.gov and type "pub 463" in the search window. Page 5 in the table.
also allows taxi fare deductions, and parking lot fee's... some restrictions on those last two, so read it first.
