Personal owned golf cart used 100% as part of my employment. Cart is used 100% for this purpose but I receive no form of reimbursement. Can I write off and how?
Purchased the cart new in 2010 and have not done any form of depreciation. I look at its use to being similar to using one's own personal vehicle for business purposes. In that case you can claim about .54 per mile as an unreimbursed expense. Can and how can I do this for use of a golf cart?

The standard mileage rate can not be used for a motorcycle, bicycle, etc, because their fuel efficiency is much better than that of a car. I assume a golf cart is similar. If so, depreciation and the actual expense method must be used.

Agreed, actual expenses & depreciation only.
