is there a way to claim a car purchase in the tax return?
user
you've got two options.  deduct the business portion of the depreciation and actual expenses for operating the car.  use the irs standard mileage rate of $.575/mile in 2015. multiply your business miles by the rate to calculate your deduction.  assuming you're a sole proprietor you'll include a schedule c to your return and claim the deduction on that form.
