How do I deduct fuel expenses?

Yes, you can deduct the cost of gasoline on your taxes. Use the actual expense method to claim the cost of gasoline, taxes, oil and other car-related expenses on your taxes.

When working out your claim, you need to use the actual costs of your motor vehicle expenses. You need to keep receipts for the actual costs you incur such as fuel and oil. You can use a logbook or diary to separate private use from work-related trips.

To write off the cost of driving for work, you can apply the IRS per-mile write-off to the number of miles you put in. The alternative is to deduct part of your actual driving expenses. That would cover not only gas but also a percentage of maintenance, repairs and new tires - the whole shebang.

Can you write off your car payment as a business expense? Typically, no. If you finance a car or buy one, you cannot deduct your monthly expenses on your taxes. This rule applies if you're a sole proprietor and use your car for business and personal reasons.

For sole proprietors and single-member LLCs, show office supplies in the "office supplies" category of Schedule C, on Line 18. You can include office expenses less than $2,500 in this category or you can separate office expenses out and include them with "Other Expenses" on Line 27a.

Actual Car Expenses include: Depreciation, License and Registration, Gas and Oil, Tolls and Parking fees, Lease Payments, Insurance, Garage Rent and Repairs and Tires. For more information regarding your Car and Truck Expenses, see section 4 of Publication 463.

You can generally figure the amount of your deductible car expense by using one of two methods: the standard mileage rate method or the actual expense method. If you qualify to use both methods, you may want to figure your deduction both ways before choosing a method to see which one gives you a larger deduction.

Car and Truck Expenses: There are two methods you can use to deduct your vehicles expenses, Standard Mileage Rate or Actual Car Expenses. You may only use one method per vehicle. To use the Standard Mileage Rate, go to the Car and Truck Expenses section of the Schedule C and enter your information.

Use the following formula calculate your motor vehicle expenses: (Business kilometres / total kilometres) X Total vehicle expenses = Motor vehicle deduction.
