How do I claim mileage on taxes?

TaxWarren TeamPublished April 25, 2026

Quick answer

If you're self-employed, deduct business mileage on Schedule C using the standard mileage rate (67 cents per mile in 2025) or the actual expense method (gas, depreciation, repairs prorated to business use). W-2 employees can't deduct mileage since 2017.

Mileage deduction methods: standard rate vs actual expenses.
