Personally, I think taxpayers, given the high gasoline prices and ever increasing state & fed gas taxes associated with purchasing a gallon of gas, should be allowed to deduct mileage like $.30 per mile from their state & federal income taxes. January 1 note the speedometer mileage and take note December 31 of each year. If the vehicle is sold or wrecked during the year, a taxpayer should be allowed to estimate the mileage.
Yes, I never understood why folks put up with paying tax on money spent on paying tax?
