IRS Releases Standard Mileage Rates for 2025:

The IRS has increased the optional standard mileage rates for computing the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business purposes for 2025. However, the standard mileage rates for medical and moving expense purposes remain the same for 2025. The standard mileage rate for computing the deductible costs of operating an automobile for charitable purposes is set by statute and remains unchanged.
For 2025, the standard mileage rates are as follows:
• Business use of auto: 70 cents per mile (up from 67 cents for 2024) may be deducted if an auto is used for business purposes. If you are an employee, your employer can reimburse you for your business travel expenses using the standard mileage rate. However, if you are an employee and your employer does not reimburse you for your business travel expenses, you cannot currently deduct your unreimbursed travel expenses as miscellaneous itemized deductions.
• Charitable use of auto: 14 cents per mile (the same as for 2024) may be deducted if an auto is used to provide services to a charitable organization if you itemize deductions on your income tax return. Your charitable deduction may be limited to certain percentages of your adjusted gross income, depending on the type of charity.
• Medical use of auto: 21 cents per mile (the same as for 2024) may be deducted if an auto is used to obtain medical care (or for other deductible medical reasons) if you itemize deductions on your income tax return. You can deduct only the part of your medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5% of the amount of your adjusted gross income.

Tax Changes and Key Amounts for the 2023 Tax Year

Singles can claim a $13,850 standard deduction ($12,950 for 2022) — $15,700 if they're at least 65 years old ($14,700 for 2022). Head-of-household filers get $20,800 for their standard deduction ($19,400 for 2022), plus an additional $1,850 once they reach age 65 ($1,750 for 2022). Blind people can tack on an extra $1,500 to their standard deduction ($1,400 for 2022). That jumps to $1,850 if they're unmarried and not a surviving spouse ($1,750 for 2022).
