This is not true.
If you have a business, you have to deduct all allowable expenses.
Also if you do not deduct expenses like mileage, you will have to pay self-employment tax of 15.3% on the total income, instead of on the net income after deduction of expenses, even if your total income is less than the standard deduction.
