If my husband owns the car I use for my business and we are filing jointly can I put in for mileage and usage?

Yes, as you are filing a joint return, you can cliam the vehicle on your return.

You can deduct 54 cents per mile or actual vehicle expenses (ie. gasoline. oil, tires, maintenance) prorated for business miles.

If you claim the standard mileage rate in year one for this vehicle, you will have the option of deducting the standard rate or actual expenses in subsequent years. If you claim actual vehicle expenses in year one, you must choose actual expenses in every subsequent year for that auto.
