Is can you write off gas for work a business expense?

Gas expenses are deductible when they are incurred for business purposes, such as driving to meet clients, travel between job sites, or other business-related travel. However, commuting from home to your regular place of business is not deductible. For example, a real estate agent driving to show homes or a consultant traveling to a client meeting can deduct gas expenses. You can choose to deduct actual expenses, including gas, or use the standard mileage rate, which covers gas and other vehicle-related costs. It's important to maintain accurate records of business miles driven and the purpose of each trip.
