Can I make deductions for my car that is used about 75% for work?

I own a car that is used about 75% for work. My work is Executive leadership for a 501c3 charity. Therefore I'm not a corporation owner, nor am I a business owner.

Can I make deductions if the car I own is used about 75% for the charity I work for?

If so, what types of care expenses may I reasonably deduct?
Thanks!

If you are a W-2 employee, the fact that you are employed by a charity does not make your job-related expenses deductible.

W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses
