Tax Time! Company driver write-offs

Search the forum - there's a pretty good list on here somewhere.

 

Cell phone and accessories, cell plan.
Xm radio and subscription.
Gloves, tools.
ATM fees.

 

If you use a tax company that deals mostly with truckers they can write off almost anything you buy away from your zip code , what you listed plus,TV, movies,cooler, even your cell phone

 

Those and anything else you need to purchase for your job, that the company doesn't reimburse... If you are OTR and need bedding. Preparing food in the truck ... The hardware (fridge, crockpot etc)... Your phone (not sure if it's a percentage or the whole thing... Think it depends on how many 'personal' calls) wifi (checking weather, road conditions)... I'm sure there's bunches more, but you get the idea...

 

If you put in or on the truck then it is a write off .

 

As expensive and "Life-Like" as blow up dolls are now days....BE SURE TO SAVE THE $299.99 RECEIPT FOR TAX TIME !

 

Clothes - only if you buy and company Logo'd. Specialty clothing... everyday clothes - no..

 

Any paid showers and hotels that weren't directly reimbursed. Hotels can be deducted regardless of the situation i.e. your truck does not have to be in the shop ... you feel like getting a room? it can be itemized. Be sure to do the standard meal allowance for DOT covered workers (search elsewhere)
