If I take a job as a pizza delivery guy, can I write off my milage and gas for tax purposes?

I have bought a new car and my old car is just sitting there. I am going to give it to my niece in about 8 month but I figured I might as well use it. I was thinking about moonlighting at nights and on the weekend to get some summer cash. In light of the gas problems, I would think finding delivery people would be difficult for businesses.





So my question is, can I write off (get back money at the end of the year) car expenses for a pizza delivery job? Could I write off my car insurance? Could I right off my car payment? Or would I have to establish a company in order for the pizza delivery place hire me as a business conducting a driving service? This is all new to me.

First I'd only recommend you do it if the area of the store is high end homes or a tourist area. If the place is in a economically depressed area it's not going to be worth doing, especially with the price of gas.


There is a page the IRS has that really goes into it, it's at

Also there's an actual Pizza Delivery blog and he goes into this specifically, giving examples of his filing doing this at:
