just keep a mileage log.

as i write my own W2/salary from my company i get the employee reimbursement for miles. vehicle was already depreciated for that deduction years back. log makes it easy if you are audited.

Have to? No, but you’ll need to keep track of gas and repair expense if you want to keep taking auto expense deductions in the future. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to but you can’t claim mileage ever again for the business life of the vehicle.

What you need to figure out is if you’ll get a bigger deduction using mileage or bonus depreciation. Estimate how many business miles you intended to drive over the next 5 years (or how long you intended to use the vehicle for business), calculate the mileage deduction and see if that will be more than if you take the bonus depreciation this year.

Nevermind; found Section 179

You can do this too and get 100% deduction (assuming it’s 100% business use) however 179 is limited to taxable income. It cannot create a loss.

So can you take the full deduction and then still write if maintenance and miles as operating expense? I didn't think but have been told you can.

You can’t write off miles AND depreciation plus maintenance. It’s miles OR maintenance including depreciation.

I use MileIQ and it’s great. I think QUICKBOOKS online has one as well but have never used it so I can’t recommend.

I’m going to use this app this year. See if it is easier. I usually just guess at a mileage log each March.
