As of January 1, 2022, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car, van, pickup, or panel truck is:
58.5 cents per mile driven for business use
18 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes, up 2 cents from the 2021 rate
14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations—this remains unchanged because it can only be altered by an act of US Congress
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, taxpayers cannot claim a miscellaneous itemized deduction for unreimbursed employee travel expenses,” the IRS noted in a press release.
Church employees who drive their personal vehicles for church-related business (visitations, special events, and so on) can be reimbursed by the church, if they properly track their business miles.
Since unreimbursed employee business expenses are currently not deductible, employees can no longer calculate a mileage deduction on their annual tax returns.
Current law allows for a reinstatement of the deduction for unreimbursed employee business expenses in 2026.
