Fuel/Mileage Reimbursment

Hi

I travel 800 miles each month for Abbott using my personal car. When I do my expenses, can I expense fuel charges as well as mileage? Just want to be sure.

thanks

Hi Sharon,   the mileage reimbursement is designed to include fuel and wear & tear on personal vehicles.   The IRS raised the reimbursement rate in July 2022 due to the increased cost of fuel since January 2022.   Changes to the IRS are commonly only effective January 1.

Thanks,

Karen

@sharonochoa the ability to submit certain expenses (i.e. fuel) are decisions made on a company by company basis. I recommend asking this question to someone at your company as to whether fuel is an allowable expense. Some companies might allow it while others do not. 🙂 

Most likely what @kvilchis answered applies to you, but asking someone at your company will confirm it.
