There's a way around this. He could claim it legitimately since you both own the vehicles if it's a joint return. But, if you don't want to "crossover" reporting of expenses between the two Schedules C, then he could "pay" you for the use of the car to his work at the standard mileage rate. Then you would claim the pay and the deduction on your Schedule C. This way your car expenses do not get directly reported on his Schedule C but they still get reported and expensed. This technique is legal since they are two separate businesses. One business is vehicle renting to the other and getting paid for the exact amount of expense.
