How do I calculate my mileage deduction for 2026?

Multiply your business miles by 72.5¢. Example: 12,000 business miles in 2026 = $8,700.00. The standard rate already covers gas, oil, repairs, insurance, registration and depreciation, so you don't deduct those separately when using it.

Can W-2 employees deduct unreimbursed mileage?

Generally no. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act suspended unreimbursed employee business expenses (a miscellaneous 2%-of-AGI itemized deduction) for 2018 through 2025 (IRC §67(g)). Exceptions include Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, and fee-basis state/local government officials. The self-employed are unaffected.

Standard mileage rate or actual expenses — which is better?

The standard mileage rate is simpler and often better for fuel-efficient cars with high mileage; the actual-expense method (depreciation, lease, gas, repairs, insurance × business-use %) can be larger for expensive vehicles. If you want the option to switch later, use the standard rate in the first business year for that vehicle.
