Only the percentage of it that is business based, maintenance, tolls, parking, and such are fine. The rest is typically compensated on a set fee per mile if I recall (I do not do my own taxes). Then again for this you must keep a vehicle log in your car at all times and write down every trip including milage and the like. Then you must distinguish which trips were for business and which were for personal use. PS. The IRS does not accept the since your self employed you are always working clause, nor taking phone calls on your cell while doing a personal drive, and so forth. Then as someone else said you also do not get the car deduction if you drive to an office to work, with the exception that you can swing something if the car is company owned via a corp of some type.
