Taxpayers are allowed to calculate the actual costs of using their vehicle rather than using the standard mileage rates. Taxpayers using the standard mileage rate must use it in the first year the car is available for business use; in later years, they can choose either the standard mileage rate or actual expenses. Leased vehicles must use the standard mileage rate method for the entire lease period if the standard mileage rate is initially chosen.
