    The charitable mileage rate for 2021 was $0.14 cents per mile.  Charitable Contributions 

     

    The business mileage rate for 2021 was 56 cents ($0.54) per mile.  As of 2018, unreimbursed employee business expenses/job-related expenses are no longer deductible as an itemized deduction subject to the 2@ of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) floor.  They may still be deductible on some state returns.

     

    This link provides the mileage rates for 2021 and 2022.

    What are the standard mileage rates?

      Does the standard rate compensate a person for depreciation of a vehicle, tires, maintenance etc.?
