For 2013 you get 56.5¢ for each business mile (keep your logs daily) .  While employees can’t deduct driving to work, look at visits to clients, extra meetings, errands or shopping for supplies. Business owners – especially child care providers – have the same and more.

Landlords need to log trips to the property, buying supplies, driving for maintenance, etc.  Keep a record of all business mileage – and personal mileage!  Costs for parking and/or tolls can be claimed in addition to the mileage deductions.

Be sure to attend my 2014 seminar on Tax and Recordkeeping.
