Is can you claim gas to work on taxes a business expense?

Gas expenses incurred while commuting between your home and your regular place of work are considered personal commuting expenses and are not deductible. However, if you are traveling between multiple business locations or using your vehicle for business purposes (e.g., visiting clients, attending business meetings), these expenses may be deductible. For example, a freelance photographer traveling to various client locations can deduct the gas used for those trips. The IRS allows you to deduct either the actual expenses incurred or use the standard mileage rate, which includes gas, maintenance, and depreciation.
