Can I deduct can i write off gas?

Gas expenses are deductible when they are incurred as part of operating a vehicle for business purposes. This includes driving to meet clients, attending business meetings, or traveling between different work sites. However, commuting from home to your regular place of business is not deductible. Business owners can choose between deducting actual expenses (including gas) or using the standard mileage rate, which covers gas and other vehicle-related costs. For 2023, the standard mileage rate is 65.5 cents per mile. To deduct actual expenses, you must keep detailed records of all costs, including gas receipts, and calculate the percentage of business use. For example, if you drive 10,000 miles in a year and 6,000 of those are for business, you can deduct 60% of your actual vehicle expenses.
