    26 Miles

    Explanation:

    As per IRS,

    Commuting is a personal nature of expense, which is not allowable as deduction.

    The following things are not deductible for Greg:

    (i) Distance traveled from office to home and home office is not deductible.

    (ii) At the end of day, 7 miles distance traveled towards home from Martin's dry cleaning is not deductible.

    Deductible includes the miles traveled to the business sites from the office for Greg.

    Therefore,

    Deductible transportation miles:

    = Distance traveled from office to smith's house + Distance traveled from smith's house to martin's dry cleaning

    = 5 miles + 21 miles

    = 26 Miles
