Is can i write off my gas for work a business expense?

Gas expenses can be deducted if they are incurred for business purposes, such as traveling to meet clients, attending business meetings, or transporting goods. However, the IRS does not allow deductions for commuting expenses, which are the costs of traveling between your home and your regular place of business. To qualify, the vehicle must be used for business purposes, and you can either deduct actual expenses (including gas) or use the standard mileage rate. For 2023, the standard mileage rate is 65.5 cents per mile. If you choose to deduct actual expenses, you must keep detailed records of all costs, including gas, maintenance, and insurance, and calculate the business-use percentage of the vehicle.
