During the year 2016, Ricki, who is not self-employed and does not receive employer reimbursement for business expenses, drove her car 6,700 miles to visit clients, 11,700 miles to get to her office, and 500 miles to attend business-related seminars. All of this mileage was incurred ratably throughout the year. She spent $555 for airfare to another business seminar and $285 for parking at her office. Using the automobile expense rates in effect for 2016, what is her deductible transportation expense? Deductible transportation expense = ? (7235 IS WRONG WHICH IS WHAT I GOT)
Expert Answer
Business Miles = 6700+500 = 7200
Mileage expense = 7200*0.19 = 1368
Airfare = 555
Deductible transportation expense = 1368+555 = 1923
