Adding vehicle expenses
Yes, you can claim these expenses as employee business expenses.
Employee business expense is a miscellaneous deduction which you can only deduct if you itemize your deductions (medical, mortgage interest, property taxes, charitable deductions, ect) and if the total of your miscellaneous expenses (including employee business expenses) are greater than 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income.
So, you may not gain a tax benefit for this deduction due to the above limitations.
For example, if you itemize your deductions and your Adjusted Gross income is $50,000, 2% would equal $1,000.
You can only deduct the dollar amount that exceeds $1,000.
