Dear Bernie, You'll need to speak with a tax preparer or accountant about the specifics of your situation, but the short answer is that yes, you probably can get a tax deduction for the miles you drive in your car to different construction sites.
With the standard mileage rate, you take a mileage deduction for a specified number of cents for every business mile you drive. The IRS sets the standard mileage rate each year. For 2014, the rate was 56Â¢ per mile, and the 2015 rate is 57.5Â¢ per mile.To figure out your deduction, simply multiply your business miles by the applicable standard mileage rate. Example: Ed, a realtor, drove his car 20,000 miles for business during 2014.he standard mileage rate requires that you keep track of how many miles you drive for business and the total miles you drive, not the actual expenses for your car, such as gas, maintenance, or repairs.
