Question about bonus and filing taxes

[mustangguy289]

Self employeed people do not get to claim mileage or gas to and from the office and their home, they do however get to claim mileage from the office to client and back to the office, as do w2 employees.

My company is my client?

My company is my client?

no, when self employed, i am my company. My clients are the people I service for my company, "myself"

you work for a company, if you don't visit clients of your company, then no you can't claim mileage

I know i can't. It just bugs me.

when i worked for myself, i coudn't bill mileage to and from the office, only when i went to see clients, so i don't see the difference.

If you were ever to use your car to go see a client, you'd be able to.


I'd get audited with a quickness if I were to claim my mileage. I get paid a flat fee every month, plus my gas is paid for. So the company gets to write off my mileage, and if I were to do it, it would be double dipping.
