2023 Compliance Trends: Staying Ahead in an Evolving Regulatory E...
2023 Tax Calendar
You probably know that miles driven for business purposes can be deductible. But did you know that you might also be able to deduct miles driven for other purposes? The rates vary depending on the purpose and the year:
2014 | 2015 | |
Business: | $0.56 | $0.575 |
Medical: | $0.235 | $0.23 |
Moving: | $0.235 | $0.23 |
Charitable: | $0.14 | $0.14 |
The rules surrounding the various mileage deductions are complex, however. Some are subject to floors and some require you to meet specific tests in order to qualify. There are also substantiation requirements, which include tracking miles driven. And, in some cases, you might be better off deducting actual expenses rather than using the mileage rates.
Thinking ahead, if you drove potentially eligible miles in 2014, but can’t deduct them because you didn’t track them, then start tracking your miles now so you can potentially take advantage of the deduction when you file your 2015 return next year
