If you use the standard mileage rate for a year, you cannot deduct your actual car expenses for that year. You cannot deduct depreciation, lease payments, maintenance and repairs, gasoline (including gasoline taxes), oil, insurance, or vehicle registration fees.
Records. If you take a per-mile deduction, you need a record of the miles you drove, the dates and the reason the trip is a write-off. You can instead claim actual expenses -- the share of your gas, repairs, oil changes and so on that you can credit to your trip. If 5 percent of your driving this year is a medical deduction, you can deduct 5 percent of your total expenses.
