Completing a tax return can be a complicated process. Not only are there multiple ways to file but the intricacies of each method can also be extremely confusing. One small misstep and you could end up with an incorrect return, owing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) money without even meaning to mess up the figures. For this reason, seeking professional assistance is the best option available to many different individuals. Doing so can ensure your return is correct, top to bottom and front to back, while lesser known deductions may be found which would have otherwise gone unnoticed.

One of these details many individuals fail to keep up with appropriately are the miles they travel throughout the year under specific circumstances. Knowing about claiming a mileage tax deduction can often have a positive impact on your return. If you are eligible to deduct car expenses on an individual or joint tax return then the changes in rates from last year are important to understand. These, however slightly altered, have been reduced for this upcoming year.

Business
Business deductions were lowered from an even 58 to 57 and one-half (57.5) cents per mile. In the event your employer doesn’t reimburse for any miles completed at the discretion of your job, then this rate may be applied. While it has been lowered, the significance will likely only be felt by those who complete a tremendous amount of travel within a given year.

Medical Care
Miles driven for medical purposes may also be tax deductible. Depending on your filing status standard deduction, mileage recipients may be better served. However, an analysis of each available option is only appropriate to ensure you receivecorrect advice and submit a flawless return. This amount lowered more than any other - falling three cents overall (20 to 17 per mile).

Moving Expense
Relocating for work or other means could also be deductible, if appropriately warranted. Depending on the current filing status and location, these miles may or may not be applied. If used, the rate fell an equal amount to medical care - three cents.

Charitable Work
Finally, charitable work completed throughout the calendar year may appropriately deducted if applied correctly. If you have completed any such event(s) over the course of 2019, then bring the appropriate paperwork to you for a meeting with a tax professional and enhance your return with the only rate which stayed the same at 14 cents.
