Question

Mileage Expenses Deductible when not paying expenses of vehicle

Can a dependent taxpayer claim a mileage deduction on Schedule C for a vehicle that the parents pay all of the expenses for?

Thank you

The son is on the title but the car was leased and paid for by Dad

Sorry, "no" votes are no longer allowed.

I forgot about that. Can I revise it to "nay"?

How would you prove to the IRS that these costs were incurred by the taxpayer, when they were not? That's pretty basic to the rules.

Do you mean AFTER the parents gift the money to the dependent?

Nothing like helping your child succeed at business by modeling such great behaviors.
