what if i want to use my gas versus miles on my car

If you choose to use "actual expenses" for your vehicle, you will be able to deduct gas.

You can choose to use either "actual expenses" or "standard mileage"  expenses for your vehicle that is used for your business. 

If you’re claiming actual expenses, you can deduct things like gas, oil, vehicle repairs, vehicle insurance, vehicle registration fees, lease payments, depreciation, bridge and tunnel tolls, and parking can all be deducted. 

You can only claim the percentage of expenses that is for the business use of your vehicle.

The percentage of your car’s use for business purposes would be your total business miles divided by the total number of miles you drove for the year (both business and personal).

If you are using actual expenses, make sure you keep detailed records and save your receipts.

If you are using the standard mileage rate, it's 67 cents per mile for 2024.

Both of these methods for calculating your expense of business use of your vehicle should produce roughly the same result.
