Company Driver, Home on Weekends re vehicle mileage

page 14...Look at the drawing.. Home to main job = never deductible. Driving from home to work is not considered work purposes.

Now you can take M&IE for those days you leave/return and the full days... page 6/12

 

Only can be pulled off if one is O/O. Using the personal vehicle to get to and from the truck could then be classified as business use, and mileage deduction applies. A company driver, Mark is right on.

 

Even as a O/O, commuting is NOT deductible. Now, if you have to go to your office to pick up paperwork, then that's a business purpose. Even if your office is at home.

Or deliver paperwork from the truck to the office (i.e. trip packets, POD"s, log books, etc.)

Or call on prospective clients, or meet with mechanic, or shop for a new truck.....

Or run to the store to pick up oil or supplies, that's deductible. The two miles from the store to home are then not deductible.

In other words, make the run for a business purpose, and note that in your personal mileage log.

 

Your better off to write off the entire payment of the car financed .drive a beater to and from work and say the car with payment (dont forget to include insurance and fuel) is only used for going to and from work that could be an easy 9k write off.
