It depends, if you use fuel for equipment (generators, other machinery), then you can claim it the amount you used.   If you are referring to the fuel used for a vehicle then you have two options for claiming your vehicle expenses. The two options are:    Actual expenses- they include fuel, maintenance, repairs, tires, insurance, registration fees, licenses, depreciation, or lease payments. ‌You can only claim a portion of the expenses that are business-related.    Standard mileage rate- To use the standard mileage rate, you must own or lease the car. If you lease a car, you must use the standard mileage rate method for the entire lease period (including renewals) if you choose the standard mileage rate for your first year. ‌The standard mileage rate for business use of vehicles in 2025 is 70 cents/mile. ‌If you use the standard mileage rate, you can also deduct interest on an auto loan, registration and property taxes, fees, and parking and tolls as long as they are business related.   As you enter the information in TurboTax the program will help you decide which method is more advantageous for you.  See the following TurboTax help articles for more information:   Business Use of Vehicles

The extended support just gets you security updates.  Please search 'is windows 10 deprecated' and you'll see all the details about what that means as a product. Then search 'windows 10 ESU bug fixes'.
