A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Can I deduct my car payment if I'm self-employed?
If you are self-employed and use your vehicle for business, you can deduct either actual vehicle expenses (including depreciation on a purchased car or lease payments on a leased car) or the standard mileage rate. You cannot deduct the car loan payment directly, but you capture the cost through depreciation. The deduction is reported on Schedule C of your tax return.

David made a seamless transaction without the hassle of going to the dealer. Located the truck I wanted and delivered it on time. Signed the paperwork which took 5 minutes and the professionism was top notch. It's rare these days that you get someone who's responsive and didn't put you through an automated response. Answered all my questions promptly and made sure I received the truck I was looking for.....Was a pleasure!

The experience with Vantage Auto Group was everything I had hoped for and more. Elka was very responsive, knowledgeable regarding all of my questions and she helped guide me into the car that I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with. I was able to get out a previous lease early & reduce my monthly payment for a car I preferred to be driving. The drop off process to my house was seamless & Niko who dropped off the car was professional, courteous & also answered all the questions I had. I would recommend them to all my friends & family.
