If you have a paper route delivery job is the mileage tax deductible?

If you're using your personal vehicle, be sure to keep accurate records of the miles driven on the paper route. When you file your taxes, you need to complete a Schedule C to report all your business expenses. Usually, for newspaper delivery, the mileage is the largest amount. Be sure to check to see what the authorized Standard Mileage Rate is when you're filing (I think it was 48.5 cents per mile for 2007). You can get all the correct information at the Internal Revenue website (irs.gov)

Yes it is deductible. As an independent contractor, you can claim this as long as your Newspaper does not reimburse you. Check out the IRS gov. web site for more info. Talk to an experienced newspaper carrier who claims it.
