Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current IRS mileage rate?
The IRS standard mileage rate for business use of a vehicle is updated annually. For 2025, the rate is 70 cents per mile for business miles driven. Check the IRS website each January for the current year rate, as it changes based on fuel and vehicle costs.
Can I deduct mileage on my taxes?
Self-employed individuals can deduct business mileage on Schedule C. You can choose the standard mileage rate or actual expenses (gas, insurance, depreciation), but not both. Employees cannot deduct mileage unless they are in the military or certain other specific categories.
What counts as deductible business mileage?
Miles driven for business purposes, such as traveling to client sites, picking up supplies, or driving between work locations, count. Your regular commute from home to your primary workplace does not. Keep a mileage log with dates, destinations, and business purpose.
Do I use round-trip or one-way miles?
Use the total miles you actually drive for business. If you drive to a client and back, that is the round-trip distance. Odometer readings or a GPS tracking app can provide accurate distances. The IRS requires contemporaneous records.
