Can you deduct auto expenses as a VP of sales?

searcy-johnson · ‎June 4, 2019

My research says that Form 2106 is not allowed in 2018. My son has been

deducting his mileage expense in previous years, but I keep running across

that this is not allowed in 2018. Where can he deduct this expense?

If he is a W2 employee then no, employee expenses are no longer deductible under the new tax laws (for tax years 2018 - 2025).

If he is a statutory employee or received a 1099 then they are deductible and reported on Schedule C along with his income.
