Thank you again for the resources as I have looked through them noting "all eligible automobile expenses" is the mystery part. I'm trying to connect the dots and discern if the listed expenses (w/ receipts), say gas for the entire year, is added, while applying the 33% business use rate to total expenses. I didn't understand your calculation for 10k miles of 20 k miles is 33% rather than 50%. unless you meant to indicate 10k business miles out of 30k total miles for 33%.
The publication examples indicated a bit more calculations to derive business use by dividing the months of business use by 12, and multiplying that value by the ratio of business miles / total miles expressed as a %.
Example: 2 of 12 months used (2/12 = 0.166) and 10,000 of 20,000 miles (10/20 x 100 = 50% ) for a business use factor of 50% x 0.166 = 8% business use. I'm uncertain how/where to place the 8% factor into software, and if this 8% is utilized in calculating a deduction for say, $3,000 in annual expenses, with 92% attributed to personal expense. Hopefully I'm making sense in trying to learn where the 8% goes into TT, and if I tally/receipt all expenses for the entire year.
