<prompt> Human: Im not looking for loopholes or anything that can get me into trouble.But what type of deductions can I make for my car and cellphone? They dont give any diem for cellphone bill but for my car they pay reimburse my full gas costs instead of paying per mileage which is weird because I obviously use it for personal errands and stuff..but hey by all means pay for it allon my checks they just have me turn in my gas receipts and pay it on my direct deposit. Im on salary so the taxes stay the same so I know I am not paying any taxes on the gas since gas fluctuates .What deductions are there? insurance, car washes, maintenance such as oil changes? new tires?, mileage can I do this since they paying for gas not mileage??what about for the cell phone?EDIT: if I start driving for uber leaning towards yes can i make the same deductions for them when i turn on my driver app? or am i double dipping?  <response>: You cant deduct anything you get reimbursement for.There are Unreimbursed Employee Expenses you can use Form 2016 for this, but this is one of those Schedule A deductions at the bottom, so that means to get any tax savings:1 You will forfeit your standard deduction and 2 Only expenses above 2 of your AGI are deductedSo the chances of getting any deduction is small. If you have no other Schedule A deds, that means youd need to spend at least 6,350 on this stuff before its worth deducting.if I start driving for uber leaning towards yes can i make the same deductions for them when i turn on my driver app? or am i double dipping?Not double dipping, but thats a whole other issue. Generally if you use your car X for your business which is what it is if youre an independent contractor then you deduct X of the car expenses or use other methods. So the employee-use portion would then be 100-X minus personal.
