Choose between standard mileage rate and actual expenses for business vehicle deductions.

Trigger on "mileage deduction", "standard mileage rate", "vehicle expenses", "car deduction", "business miles", "mileage tracking".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Vehicle Expense Deduction

Choose and apply the right method for deducting business vehicle expenses: standard mileage rate or actual expenses.

## Two methods — pick one per vehicle

### Standard mileage rate

Multiply your business miles by the IRS standard rate. Simple.

**2024 rate: 67 cents per mile** (this changes annually — check IRS.gov for the current year).

What the rate includes: gas, oil, repairs, tires, insurance, registration, depreciation. You do NOT deduct these separately when using the standard mileage rate — they're baked into the 67¢.

What you CAN add on top: parking fees and tolls for business trips (deducted on Schedule C Line 24a Travel), and interest on a car loan (Line 16b).

**When you can use it:**
- You must use it in the first year the vehicle is available for business use. If you don't elect it in year 1, you're locked into actual expenses for that vehicle.
- You must own or lease the vehicle (not available for fleet vehicles of 5+ cars)
- You can't have claimed Section 179 or bonus depreciation on the vehicle
- You can't have used MACRS depreciation in a prior year (unless you switch from standard mileage, which then limits you to straight-line)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add receiptor-ai/bookkeeping-skills/vehicle-expenses@sha256:6997c7dfc42f1bfb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.5e6a98c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
