Car insurance (personal car)
$100-$300/mo
Can I Write Off Car Insurance?
Short answer: No for a personal car; the business-use share is deductible for self-employed people.
Use the actual-expense method to include insurance for a business vehicle.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
