IRS Announces 2012 Standard Mileage Rates

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) this week announced the 2012 optional standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of using a vehicle for business, charitable, medical, or moving purposes.

Beginning Jan. 1, the standard mileage rates will be 55.5 cents per mile for business use, 23 cents per mile for medical or moving purposes, and 14 cents per mile in service of charities. The rate for business miles is unchanged from a mid-year adjustment that became effective on July 1, 2011. The medical and moving rate has been reduced by 0.5 cents per mile.

The standard mileage rate for business is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating a car. The IRS reminds taxpayers that they always have the option of calculating the actual costs of using their vehicle rather than using the standard mileage rates.
