You should be able to claim the actual expenses on the new vehicle.  Carefully go back through the interview for the new car completely and then review your schedule C.   As I said earlier, the mileage will be listed on the worksheet as it is needed to calculate the percentage the vehicle was used in business.   If you took the standard on the old car, you should see the mileage deduction, but only for the number of miles your drove that car.   The newer car's (if you select actual) mileage should only be on the worksheet and those miles should not be included in your mileage deduction.  Instead, you should see the depreciation for that vehicle and a corresponding depreciation deduction on Form 4562.   @wgfpd154
