Thanks for clearing that up. Since I don't own the vehicle, I can only use the actual-expense method.
However, I did not write the number of miles on my odometer at the beginning of the year so it would be hard to say how many miles I drove, but I have kept my gas receipts that have to do with driving for work. Would it be best to just wait until next year to write the odometer and deduct miles or would I still be able to do it this year even though I didn't keep ALL my gas receipts and don't have the odometer written down?
