Methodology

Mileage versus actual depreciation

Evaluating vehicle deduction methods requires strict record-keeping and a clear understanding of IRS threshold calculations. The standard mileage rate simplifies tracking by applying a fixed cents-per-mile multiplier to business travel, covering fuel, maintenance, and basic wear in a single figure.

Conversely, actual expense tracking itemizes lease payments, insurance, repairs, and depreciation. For high-mileage contractors or heavy commercial use, actual expenses frequently yield higher deductions, provided every receipt and odometer log remains defensible under audit.
