Is can i write off gas for work tax deductible?
Gas expenses can be deducted if they are incurred for business purposes, such as traveling to meet clients or attending business meetings. However, commuting from home to your regular place of business is considered a personal expense and is not deductible. For business use, you can choose between deducting actual expenses (including gas) or using the standard mileage rate. It's important to maintain detailed records of the business miles driven and the purpose of each trip. For example, if you are a freelance photographer driving to various locations for shoots, the gas used for these trips is deductible.
