Mobile mechanics tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Mobile mechanics Write Off?

Short answer: Top write-offs: a service van with shelving, jacks, scanners, battery testers, parts inventory, and mileage to customers.

Self-employed workers deduct these on Schedule C, cutting income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax; keep receipts and a mileage log.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
