Deductions & credits

Using super simplified numbers, and for simplicity if we say it was 100% business use and 27,000 business miles every year:

 

Actual Expenses:

 

Year 1:  Total deduction of $22,000

Year 2, 3, 4 and 5: Total deduction of $5,000 per year

Year 6 and after:  Total deduction of $4,000 per year

 

Standard Mileage Rate:  $15,000 deduction EVERY year

 

 

Again, this is just a super simplified example, but it shows how the Standard Mileage Rate can be very beneficial for vehicle with high business miles.
