You can use the actual expense method or use the standard mileage rate. When using the actual expense method you include the entire price at the pump as your expense.

I have no idea what the IRS is going to say about my 2010 and 2011 taxes. This makes it an unbearable tax system for me so that I was forced to renounce my US citizenship.<br /><br />But I would have also qualified for the Foreign Tax Credit. And I had charitable deductions already, that I did not claim because my taxes WERE at zero until the IRS removed my FEIE. So now, I could go to jail for perjury because I didn't claim charitable deductions. What's wrong with the USA? I'm glad I'm not a citizen anymore.Petros Telosnoreply@blogger.com
