Every year, my wife does the taxes, and every year, she asks me the mileage at the beginning and end of last year. And every year, I drop the ball and forget to make a note of the mileage. In 2019, I started private teaching, which meant a lot more miles to deduct. I had the mileage record from Jan 1, 2020, but nothing from Jan 1, 2019. So my brilliant wife asked me, “Did you post anything to Oppo about your mileage? When did the van turn to 200k?” And, lo and behold, I did make !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , on our trip back east to see my parents. I posted about reaching 200,000 miles on.......January 4, 2019. Close enough!

I thought we couldn’t charge mileage anymore?

Turbo Tax says I can. I am paid directly by the parents, so it’s an independent contractor thing? I really have no idea.

Of course you can. Miles for business use is a deductible expense on your schedule C. That hasn’t changed. What you can’t do is deduct miles for moving expenses any longer.

Aww hell, I haven’t moved since 2011. I haven’t kept track of work miles either. Bummer. Although, I drive work trucks 90% of the time. So it wouldnt   really Benefit me.
