Can You Write Off Truck Insurance?
Short answer: Yes: primary liability, cargo, and bobtail coverage are deductible for owner-operators.
Self-employed people deduct ordinary and necessary business costs on Schedule C, which lowers both income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax.
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.
