Reimbursed Employee Expense - Mileage?

Question

I am working for a consulting firm. My company used to reimburse me for the mileages I drove to the client's site. They stopped reimbursing me the mileages last year. My contract with the client is renewable every 3 months. The same client has been renewing my contract every 3 months for 3 years now. Can I use 2106 Form to claim the mileages I drive to client?

Answer 1

Sounds like the client's site might be your regular place of business and has been for more than a year. If so, you are on a permanent assignment (longer than one year). As such, your mileage is commuting mileage and not deductible.

If on the other hand, you regularly work at the consulting firm office, and go to the client's site from the office, those miles are deductible using Form 2106 and transferring the amount to Schedule A.

Answer 2

Yes, as long as you are not being reimbursed for those expenses and you've documented them (meaning that they are written down or tracked somewhere in a computer), you can take them off your own personal taxes using IRS form 2106.

Been doing it for years (though I use TurboTax, so I wasn't familiar with the form #.)

Answer 3

If the coverage is that you've 60 days to put up your declare, and also you chosen to push aside that coverage, then you definately're out $one hundred forty. it truly is no longer about them desirous to furnish you a confusing time both. There are billing and accounting rationalization why they could favor to adhere to a time body that we do not favor to get into. Sixty days is more suitable than sufficient time inspite of the truth that. At my organization we've 30 days and that i have never had a issue.

Answer 4

You can always deduct your mileage. If you're reimbursed for it, you can still claim the deduction as long as you also claim the reimbursement against it.

The IRS asks that you keep a daily log of odometer readings if you're using your personal vehicle.
