Are parking fees deductible if employer does NOT provide parking at place of business?
During the middle of the year, I started working in Downtown Honolulu where parking is very scarce and expensive. My employer does not provide parking on-site, so my only alternative is to park about a half mile away from my job in a public parking lot. According to Publication 17, "Fees you pay to park your car at your place of business are nondeductible commuting expenses". Since I am parking my car at a different area, is this a deductible expense?

No parking related to going to your place of business is deductible, whether it is at your place of business or away from your place of business.
Answer 8 :
Parking charges to park while you are at your principal place of employment are not deductible, no matter how far away you park from the building.
Answer 9 :
No. Parking your car wherever it is parked while you are at work is not deductible. Parking is deductible only when you are on a business trip, visiting clients, or otherwise driving to somewhere other than work. If you have to pay for parking and you have to walk 1/2 mile, it might make more sense to take a bus or train, instead of driving.
