Self-employed (1099)
As a self-employed person who drives for work, you can claim a tax deduction on your business vehicle expenses using the 2025 standard mileage rate, or the actual expenses method.
Our self-employed mileage guide explains the rules in greater detail.
Employees (W-2)
Your employer can use the standard mileage rate to reimburse you for all business-related driving you’ve done using a personal vehicle. They can, however, choose to reimburse you at a rate lower than the one set by the IRS. If you’re reimbursed at a higher rate than the standard mileage rate, it’s considered part of taxable income.
Note: According to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 2017 you cannot take a tax write-off even if your employer doesn't reimburse you for your business mileage expenses. This law is in effect until Jan. 1, 2026.
You can find out more about mileage reimbursement rules for employees in our guide.
Employers
The standard business mileage rate is the highest rate you can reimburse your employee. Anything above it is considered a taxable benefit.
You can refer to our dedicated employer mileage guide for more info.
How are the mileage rates set?
The IRS adjusts the rates annually based on the costs associated with owning and operating a vehicle.
The business mileage rate factors in both fixed and variable costs, whereas the rates for medical and moving expenses are based solely on variable costs.
Fixed costs include expenses like insurance, license and registration fees, lease payments, and depreciation. Variable costs include, among others, gas, parking, oil, tires changes, and maintenance.
The charity rate is set by law and has remained the same since 1998.
