IRS Mileage Rate vs. Actual Expenses?

Individuals and Schedule C taxpayers may use IRS mileage rates to deduct business vehicles. Corporations may use the IRS standard mileage rates to reimburse employees for corporate business use of their personal vehicles, but a corporation may not use the IRS mileage method to deduct its corporate-owned vehicles. Alternatively, you may use the actual expenses method to deduct your business vehicles. Which method is better for you?

Rental Property Analyzer

We can help you analyze the profitability of a potential rental property investment and get a solid answer. The Rental Property Analyzer uses the after-tax adjusted rate-of-return formula to produce an after-tax number that we gross up to make it comparable to your pretax safe rate. You can take a complicated rental property investment and break it down into one single rate of return that you can compare with other investments.
