Can freelancers deduct can i write off gas as a business expense?

Gas expenses are deductible when the vehicle is used for business purposes, such as traveling to client meetings or job sites. Freelancers can choose to deduct actual vehicle expenses, which include gas, or they can use the IRS standard mileage rate, which covers gas and other vehicle-related costs. Personal use of the vehicle is not deductible. For example, if a freelancer uses their car 60% for business, they can deduct 60% of their gas expenses if opting for the actual expense method. It's important to maintain detailed records of business miles driven and the purpose of each trip.
