Be aware that this deduction won't be 'worth' as much as other deductions because your total mileage deduction amount is first reduced by 2% of Adjusted Gross Income ( a subtitle on your return ). Also, you must "Itemize" for this expense to impact your taxes; meaning your itemized deductions must be greater than the standard deduction.
