Can You Write Off Gas for Your Personal Car?
Short answer: No: gas for personal driving isn't deductible; business, medical, charity, and some moving miles are.
Medical miles are 20.5¢ and charity miles 14¢ for 2026.
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.
