CAR & TRUCK EXPENSES
You may deduct car/truck expenses for local or extended business travel,including:
• between one workplace and another,• to meet clients or customers,• to visit suppliers or procure materials,• to attend meetings,• for other ordinary and necessary managerial or operational tasks or needs of your business.
Note: You cannot deduct the costs of driving your car or truck between your home and your main or regular workplace. These costs are personal commuting expenses. You should have kept a record of your business-related mileage over the year. We will use the IRS standard mileage rate 70.0 cent per mile until December 31, 2025 for your deduction of business-related travel. This rate accounts for gas, repairs, maintenance, depreciation, and auto insurance (but not interest on a car loan). If you do not have a record of mileage or are unsure how to calculate your total, contact our office.
