Deductions & credits
No. The only additional expenses allowed with standard mileage (53.5 cents/mile) is parking and tolls. You are referring to the Actual Expenses method of deducting your car for work. It is based on all the expenses you actually incur in the operation of your vehicle. It includes things like:
· gas purchases
· repairs
· oil changes
· tire purchases
· car washes
· insurance
· car lease
· and even vehicle depreciation
However, you can only claim the percentage of expenses that apply to the business use of your vehicle. To compute this, you must know how many miles you drove for business purposes and how much you drove for personal reasons.
TurboTax will walk your through this method. Please feel free to post any additional details or questions in the comment section.
