Can I deduct can you write off fuel on taxes?

Fuel costs can be deducted if they are incurred for business purposes. This typically applies to self-employed individuals, freelancers, and businesses that use vehicles for business operations. Personal fuel expenses are not deductible. For example, if you use your car for both personal and business purposes, only the portion of fuel used for business can be deducted. You can choose to deduct actual expenses, including fuel, or use the standard mileage rate, which covers fuel and other vehicle-related costs.
