Can You Write Off Fuel for Truck Drivers?
Short answer: Owner-operators deduct all fuel; company drivers whose carrier pays fuel have nothing to deduct.
IFTA fuel taxes are part of the fuel cost.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
