When you use a vehicle for business, it becomes a business asset which allows you to write off the expenses of that vehicle.

And there are two ways you can write off your car expenses:

With the Actual Expense method you can literally write off most of your actual car expenses.

This includes any repairs and maintenance, insurance payments, tires, tolls, car Insurance, windshield wiper fluid, and the depreciation of the vehicle.

With the Standard Mileage Method, the second way to write off your vehicle, you can write off all of the mileage related to your vehicle.

To get your allowable deduction you would just multiply the miles driven and the standard mileage rate.

I still think that the ability to write off your vehicle as a business and take a vehicle tax deduction is a powerful and beneficial way to lower you taxable income. Just make sure the write off is right for you!
