A kind of catch pharse here " trail the government". The Massachusetts
government is considering rasing the gasoline tax by .10, so now
.25 won't even cut it. Well thats the price of doing business here
in great old "taxachusetts".

Gee! How can I join your costcenter so I can pick up an extra $.035 per
mile? :^)
Only slightly off the subject, is it not still true that you can claim the
difference between what you get reimbursed and what the govt allows as a
business expense tax deduction?

You may only subtract unreimbursed employee business expenses greater than
2% of your income.
Example: You drive your personal car 10,000 miles for DEC.
DEC reimburses you at 22.5�/mile: $2250.
Your unreimbursed expense at 25�/mile is $250.
Your income is $12,450.
You may show a deduction of $1 on Schedule A if you itemize.
Not many readers of this conference will have unreimbursed expenses large
enough to deduct.

| Just verifying something. Are you talking about pure "business"
miles, like for sales people, etc.?
'cause I put 15,000 miles to commute to work only. Besides,
when our group got transfered, I incurred a cost of $500 a
year in Mass pike tolls. Can any of this be reimbursed...?

1098.9 | only miles other then going to the office that DEC makes you drive | CVG::THOMPSON | My friends call me Alfred | Wed May 09 1990 15:09 | 3 |
| Commuting tolls and milage is NOT tax deductable.

Ara might have something there.
If his group did transfer, and he is more then 60 miles from the
new location there is a chance he can pick up travel and relocation
pay.
I'd check with your Personal Office.

Dec. will have to do better with the price gouging up here in the
northeast! 89 octane went from 1.23 to 1.39 at the station I used to
gas up from. Needless to say some shopping has to be done. I won't use
my vehicle for any Dec. business anymore. At least until prices come
down or the re-enbursment goes up.
