Can freelancers deduct can you claim gas to work on taxes?

Gas expenses are deductible when they are incurred for business-related travel, such as visiting clients, attending meetings, or running business errands. However, commuting expenses, which are costs incurred traveling from home to a regular place of business, are not deductible. For freelancers who work from home, any travel from their home office to a business location can be considered business travel. It's important to distinguish between personal and business use of the vehicle. The IRS allows for two methods to deduct vehicle expenses: the standard mileage rate or actual expenses, which includes gas. The standard mileage rate for 2023 is 65.5 cents per mile. If using actual expenses, you must calculate the percentage of business use.
