Permanent link All PostsWhen you use a car for
business, you may deduct the mileage expense by using either the standard
mileage rate or the actual expenses of maintaining the vehicle. If you take the
actual expenses, you can deduct the depreciation, gas, oil, insurance, tires,
licenses, repairs, etc. If you choose to take actual expenses when you first
start using the car for business, you cannot change to the standard mileage
rate deduction.
