What you must decide1 conditions

Published beside the figure, and never applied for you.

  • An ordinary employee cannot deduct these miles at all

    Since tax years beginning after 2017, unreimbursed employee travel is not deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction. The standard mileage rate still answers for the self-employed, and — as an adjustment to income rather than an itemised deduction — for Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, fee-basis state or local government officials, and disabled employees with impairment-related work expenses. Which of those the taxpayer is decides whether the figure is worth anything, and that is yours to know.
