I already know you cannot deduct you actual travel To and FROM work. But my husband’s job requires him to travel to different job sites (construction/maintenance) They always tell me I can’t deduct it either way but have been reading differently. It is his personal car and it does not use a business logo. The company also gives him /week for gas which is not taxed on his paystub. He spends more than , more around . I can’t find the information that shows if you "qualify" for a deduction and I also want to prove to the darn tax preparer that he indeed can deduct if he can. (Last year she said no, we couldn’t). Can someone please point me in the right direction or recommend a tax preparer that actually trains their preparers. We use Jackson Hewitt

Question about taxes and a car-I know that you can’t put an ad for a business on your personal car and claim the car as a deduction.
But what if your business is a car website/forum for a specific model of car? The site/forum shows how to do car maintenance, answers other’s questions, install power upgrades and aftermarket parts, making misc. modifications, and blogging about the experiences and daily driving mileage. The only income will be from google ads and bumper stickers and is very small.
I would only take a hobby and turn it into a business if I can claim the personal car as a business expense since the business IS writing, modifying, all about the car.
The expenses are the purchase price, depreciation, car parts/ modifications, gas, registration, insurance, parking space, tools to work on the car. The purpose is to add content to the site and are all exclusively for the website’s car. Even if I can only claim the cost of car mods and tools, this is over k/year.

Husband works for a trucking company who provides the uniforms. Wife does his laundry at home with the entire families (4 children, 2 adults). How can the washer and dryer be used as a deduction? Also, how can he deduct his milage to and from work in his own personal car? Also, I know a tax preparer who used her grandchild’s social security number to get her IRS PTIN. She has a criminal record for writing bad checks and has been in jail several times. She knows how to use the system. She has stolen her children (which are now young adults) and grandchildrens social security numbers for false purposes. Her children now have bad credit and cannot make a life for themselves because of what she has done. She also does taxes and uses inflated personal / business expensed, and false deductions. How can I find out more about this person and how she has gotten by with tax fraud? The individuals she does taxes for has received close to 10K for the last few years and they know she is doing illigal tax practices. They just want the money. Can someone tell me what I could do to stop this before the new tax season starts? I have warned the individuals of the illegial tax filings and warned them that they could be audited. They seems to have no concerns. How can I put a "bug" in with IRS to stop this. We as tax payers don’t deserve to have these people walking free and making thousands of dollars while we are barely making "ends meet." I need some answers.
