How the IRS Mileage Deduction Works

Self-employed contractors, freelancers, and small business owners can deduct the cost of operating a vehicle for business purposes. The IRS establishes a standard mileage rate (typically 67¢ per mile) to simplify tax write-offs without tracking individual fuel receipts.

Standard Rate vs Actual Expenses

If you drive an economical vehicle with high mileage, the Standard Mileage Rate almost always delivers a larger deduction. If you operate an expensive luxury vehicle with heavy depreciation and high maintenance, Actual Expenses may yield higher deductions.
