How do I deduct can you write off gas on my taxes?

Gas expenses are deductible when they are incurred for business purposes, such as driving to meet clients, traveling between job sites, or making deliveries. If a vehicle is used for both personal and business purposes, only the business portion of the gas expenses is deductible. To determine the deductible amount, you can use the actual expense method, which involves tracking all vehicle-related expenses, including gas, or the standard mileage rate, which simplifies the process by multiplying business miles driven by the IRS mileage rate. The actual expense method requires detailed records of all expenses and the percentage of business use, while the standard mileage rate requires a log of business miles driven. It's important to note that commuting from home to a regular place of business is considered personal use and not deductible.
