Freelancers can deduct either actual vehicle expenses (including gas) or the standard mileage rate for business use of their vehicle. To deduct these expenses, the vehicle use must be directly related to business activities, such as traveling to meet clients or purchasing supplies. Personal use of the vehicle is not deductible. Freelancers must choose between the actual expense method and the standard mileage rate method for the tax year and cannot switch between them for the same vehicle.
