Can I deduct is gas a write off?

Gas expenses are deductible when they are incurred for business purposes. This typically applies to small business owners, freelancers, or independent contractors who use their vehicles for business activities, such as visiting clients or transporting goods. Personal use of the vehicle is not deductible. To claim this deduction, you can either track the actual expenses, including gas, or use the standard mileage rate, which includes gas and other vehicle-related costs. It's important to maintain a log of business miles driven and keep receipts for gas purchases if you opt for the actual expense method. Note that commuting from home to your regular place of business is considered personal use and is not deductible.
