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

Gas expenses incurred while commuting from your home to your regular place of business are considered personal commuting expenses and are not deductible. However, if you are a small business owner, freelancer, or independent contractor using your vehicle for business purposes, such as traveling between job sites, meeting clients, or running business errands, you can deduct the gas expenses. You can choose to deduct actual expenses, which include gas, or use the standard mileage rate set by the IRS. For 2023, the standard mileage rate is 65.5 cents per mile. It's important to keep detailed records of your business mileage and separate it from personal use.
