Posted: Dec 13, 2010 |

There are many expenses associated with car ownership that cannot be avoided. From car insurance to maintenance, car owners invest a lot of money in their vehicles. Fortunately there are ways to recoup some of this money during tax season. Baltimore Honda offers the following information to ensure you are not missing out on tax credits and deductions that can be used to lower your tax liability.

What expenses are deductible?

As a general rule, regular expenses resulting from personal use do not qualify as a tax deduction. There are however situations where expenses may be claimed as a deduction. If you use your vehicle for business purposes, to relocate, for medical purposes or for charitable service you may be able to claim expenses as deductions. Baltimore Honda dealers recommends anyone using their vehicle for these purposes keep accurate records to back up deductions. This includes documentation of any repairs, maintenance, insurance, registration and fuel costs. Individuals who are self-employed and use their vehicle for business purposes can deduct loan interest as well.

An alternative to claiming individual expenses is claiming the standard mileage rate. Using the standard mileage rate to determine your deduction requires less paperwork and is often easier for individuals who occasionally use their vehicle for business, medical or charitable purposes. Regardless of which method you choose, be sure you have the documentation needed to support your deduction.
