Deductions & credits

Commuting is not a deductible expense unless you have a business. 

 

If you are a contractor (not W-2 employee) you must

  • have a home office, and 
  • prepare a Schedule C business tax return.

You can deduct mileage for a motorcycle; however, 

  • You must keep records of mileage, fuel, and all other maintenance expenses, as well as depreciating the Motorcycle
  • You will then be able to deduct the percentage of mileage used for business purposes.
