Tax question about mileage

Does your state reimburse your mileage for visits, doctor appointments, court, etc? Ours does here if our trips exceed 15 miles. But some states consider the stipend received to be part of the reimbursement of extra expenses such as mileage, clothing, etc. For example, our state considers trips less than 15 miles to be part of the normal stipend amount. (Those above that are reimbursed.) So no, you would not be able to "write off" the mileage. As it is considered that you are getting "reimbursed" for that in your monthly stipend. But keep in mind, you are also not including the stipend in income either.
