How can I specify which expenses on the vehicle were generated by which business?

I receive W2s and 1099-MISCs. For one of the businesses I get a W2, for the other one I receive both W2s and 1099-MISCs.

Whichever method you choose, it should be the same for both businesses.

If you use the standard mileage allowance, it should be easy to divide the expenses between the two businesses, assuming you kept separate mileage records for each.

If you use actual expenses, you will need to divide the expenses proportionately according to the mileage for each business.
