Van Cost

[usaf6186]

A qusetion for vanO/O's. Do you use actual cost or standard mileage allowance at tax time and why? It seems the the standard mileage would be less hassel. But if you had high maint expenses the actual cost would be better. Thanks , Jerry Lee

Talk with your accountant...that person and a lawyer should be at the top of your list before you even consider hitting the road. How are you going to structure your business? Are buying a van or leasing one??...it makes a difference....each persons situation is different so how one does it verse how the next does, really doesn't matter if it doesn't work for you and all of your other deductions and expenses.
