I left my house at 5 AM and drove to Venice to look at how a captain mounted a satellite antenna, I left Venice at 11 AM and was told I needed to go straight to Cameron for a job. I got to Cameron around 7 PM, changed a satellite phone and was on my way home around 8, got home around 10:30 PM.

This I gotta see!!!!!!!! lol!

Just had to yank you chain man!!!!! But really, the wife who is my CPA had a crap load of pissed off people for the reduction, but it is what it is!!!!! IRS has no clue what it takes to run a business or "work" for a living. I'm getting my blood pressure up over this topic, I mean come on - has anyone seen the federal tax code lately? Really, so we need a 4000 page document for income taxes? Why do I have to pay taxes on my income, and then pay taxes on items I purchase, but Jamal gets SSI and does not pay taxes for his purchases that he buys w/ tax money....... Just don't get it!

I use my truck for work. I am in sales so I do not carry tools. I usually drive 30K miles a year. I am given 12K per year (paid over 26 pay checks) plus they pay all my fuel. Which to me, is great vehicle allowance. However, I pay for all repairs, oil changes, and etc. Also, as a tax write-off (my wife is an accountant) just say I travel 25K for work out of the 30K, I can write off those miles (.50cents per mile this year) minus the money my company gives me for my gas. I have done this for the past 5 years. call me if you need any additional info.

[PUREBAY2200]

I drive about 40k miles a year.
Last 2 years it's been $$$$ with gas.
I know my biggest deduction is mileage.
I don't get any $ for gas, or vehicle expense.
I don't complain cause I'm glad to have a job and I enjoy what I do. I knew going into my career that I would b paying all my expenses. I get bonus' and an expense allowance based on production, but that changes ever three months based on my previous rolling 12 months.
Some times that $$ covers my gas/ maintenance/ etc some times it don't.
But if I worked somewhere that took away my gas/vehicle $$ or reduced it... I'll start pooping on bags and throwing it at mgmt!!

One of my friends used his brand new truck for 2 years and after that he was upside down . had allmost 100k miles and only 2 years old. stillowed 3 years on the truck and couldn't get crap for it w/ excessive miles.

[jlsch1]

Sucks being in sales my company paid me $650 plus gas which I averaged 32,000 miles a year. Now my description has changed and drive alot less with the same company. I get paid $880 per month gas and vehicle. No matter what they claim with the vehicle requirements unless you find a good used vehicle you will never come out ahead of the game when trade vehicle in. I ate $7k trading my last truck when I bought my new truck last year. Luckly my truck note was low enough to have the cash to pay that at time of trade.

Use to have company vehicles which they changed out every 3 years. They use to let our spouses drive our vehicles when we were off. This idiot let his wife drive a company vehicle drunk and she killed 2 people. The company that I work for got sued and their insurance dropped our fleet policy.
