Saving Gas Receipts For Income Tax Time?
I’m a college student and I commute. I hear that if I save my gas receipts I can claim it on my income tax. How exactly does that work and is it more of a hassle then it’s worth? Thanks!

Comments on Saving Gas Receipts For Income Tax Time?
Gas receipts (and tolls) are only deductible if you are commuting for wok..if your job has relocated you and/or requires you to travel for wrk..
sorry! not for traveling to school!!
So sorry, commuting is not deductible travel…and gas taxes haven’t been deductible for decades.
If you are working and going to work-related classes, that’s different. Then you keep track of your mileage. If you itemize your deductions, you can take work-related education costs (which this would be) as a miscellaneous deduction on Schedule A Line 21.
Nope. Sorry. No tax benefits for commuting even to college. http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,i…
Travel expenses are only allowed for self employed people not for employees or college students. You got bad advice from a self employed person.
Sorry but you were told wrong. Visit IRS website to find out what you can claim on your tax return. http://www.irs.gov
Sorry, you heard wrong. No deduction.
