I drove 2 vehicles to my new home, can I deduct the gas and milage for both or just one?

Yes for moving expenses you can deduct the cost for moving your personal vehicles to the new location even if you have more than one vehicle.

If you use your car to take yourself, members of your household, or your personal effects to your new home, you can figure your expenses by deducting either:

• Your actual expenses, such as the amount you pay for gas and oil for your car, if you keep an accurate record of each expense, or

• The standard mileage rate of 17 cents a mile.

Whether you use actual expenses or the standard mileage rate to figure your expenses, you can deduct the parking fees and tolls you pay to move. You can't deduct any part of general repairs, general maintenance, insurance, or depreciation for your car.
