can claim the difference in the IRS standard mileage rate of 53.5 cents per
mile and a lesser reimbursement rate per mile as an employee business
expense.
To
deduct employee business expenses, you must
1.
Have enough itemized deductions (ie. Medical, mortgage
interest, property taxes, charitable giving, ect) to exceed your Standard
Deduction.
2.
If you itemize, your deduction is limited to the extent that it exceeds
2% of your Adjusted Gross Income.
So,
you may not gain a tax benefit fro this deduction.
