Course Description

Operating costs for vehicles used in the course of a taxpayer’s business are deductible. Thus, when taxpayers use their vehicles in their businesses or employment, they can deduct that portion of the cost of operating their vehicle. Such costs that can be deducted are property taxes that are paid on their vehicle if deductions are itemized on Schedule A. This informative course reviews automobile tax rules including apportionment of personal and business use, the actual cost method, the standard mileage method, and expensing. Moreover, this presentation will give you the information you need to know regarding topics such as the benefits and costs of leasing versus owning, and working condition fringe benefits.
