See how remote tax prep works →The standard mileage rate (72.5¢/mile) is all-inclusive — it bundles depreciation, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and registration. If you elect actual expenses instead, you deduct those costs separately. Electing any form of depreciation permanently forfeits the mileage method for that vehicle.
