I got off the road Jan 7,2010. I drove locally all year. What tax deductions am I entitled to?
I know I can't claim per diem anymore, right?
Surely there are tax deductions for local drivers. Anyone? Anyone, Bueller?
I'm a local driver, what tax deductions am i missing???

food for one anything you buy for the use in the truck is deductable

I thought that I couldn't claim meals anymore because I could eat at home. -
any tools, CB, work gloves, uniform. Darn near anything you put in the truck to use you can deduct, pens, sunglasses.

Make sure you compare it with the standard deduction. Unless you have per diem, alot of medical bills, mortgage, etc. It's hard to beat the standard.
