Can I write off my Gas for work?

If you use your vehicle for business purposes, you can deduct the cost of gas as a business expense. This includes driving to meet clients, going to different work locations, or running business errands. However, you cannot deduct the cost of commuting from your home to your regular place of work. There are two methods to calculate this deduction: the standard mileage rate (which includes gas) and the actual expense method (where you track all car-related expenses including gas). The standard mileage rate for 2021 is 56 cents per mile. Remember to keep detailed records of your business-related driving.
