This is from the H&R Block program. • Self-Employed Individuals: You can deduct business mileage using either the standard mileage rate (70 cents per mile for 2025) or actual expenses. You must choose the standard mileage rate in the first year the vehicle is used for business. • Employees: Unreimbursed employee business expenses, including mileage, are not deductible due to recent tax law changes. • Standard Mileage Rate: Covers most vehicle costs (gas, maintenance, depreciation). Parking fees, tolls, and certain taxes/interest can be deducted separately. • Actual Expense Method: Deduct actual costs (gas, repairs, insurance, etc.) based on the business-use percentage. • Limitations: You can't use the standard mileage rate if you use five or more cars at the same time, claimed certain depreciation, or received qualified rural mail carrier reimbursement.
