   no, but you can deduct a flat amount per mile….

   No, but the government allows for an amount per mile to repay the use of your personal car.

   You can also deduct gas, tolls, parking and any other expense as a result of your work activity.

   No but you can deduct either milage or expenses on the car. You should contact your tax preparer as to which option is best for you.

   Depends-do you do a Schedule C for this work? In my professional opinion you can-but you can only take the business portion that you use-in other words-you would have to file a 2106-and keep a track of your mileage used for business so that you could allocated the lease pmts appropriately. See Publication 463-page 23.

   It appear you could take the mileage, tolls and parking on Form 2106, however, since you do not own the business, it is unreimbursed employee expenses. Therefore, it is subject to the itemized 2% Miscellaneous Deduction limitation on Schedule A. This means you have to itemize your deductions, otherwise you do not get a tax deduction.
