Do pilot points rollover to new year?

Im a Company Driver. I can't "write things off"

 

Truck stops stock very few items I would actually want. CB, GPS, and a headset are about all I can think of. What I used to do, is save the points all year, then cash them in for coats/jackets for the coats for kids thing the local church did. Knew the manager at a loves, she would give me 10% off the price so it really helped. Clearance prices, 10% off and several hundred dollars in points, the kids made out pretty good with new reasonably good cool looking coats.

 

Why not? It's an expense, a tool you need for employment. You can write off a portion of your cell bill? Mechanics write off their tools?

 

You need to read the tax code. Let me give you a starting point. "Standard Deduction" and "Schedule C"

 

What kind of company driver grosses enough that a itemized deduction would be larger than the standard deduction?

Only a driver that had other significant sources of income.

 

None....Elroy has not a clue. "It's a write off" is something he heard somebody say once, and thinks it makes him sound smart. If Elroy has over $12,000 in legitimate business expense deductions as a Company Driver, I would like to see the list.

 

I'm not a company driver, but I have friends who are, and they can deduct 50% of their phone if they use faxing apps data and the phone for business calls. I'm also in Canada, clearly the US is different, pardon me.......

 

I have an expensive cell phone plan because I want the data OTR. I pay $85 a month. Half of that is $500 a year. Again, that doesn’t even come close to the standard deduction.

 

Apparently the poster is from Canada. I have no clue about Canadian Taxes..... Other than The United States is currently trying to "out socialist" the socialist Country of Canada.
