IX. MILEAGE

1. Vehicle Expenses (for each vehicle)

   A. General Information
      1. Date vehicle placed in service

      2. Total miles vehicle driven during the tax year

     3. Total miles used for business (not commuting
          to and from school).
Note:
This includes miles going to meetings, PTA, school functions, fairs,
games, awards, plays,concerts, field trips, etc. Going to pick up
 supplies,equipment, make copies, to other schools,
to students homes, etc.
In other words anything related to the job is deductible.

     4. Average daily round-trip commuting distance.

     5. Do you (or spouse) have another vehicle available
         for personal use?

     6. Parking and toll fees (this includes parking meters).

Note:
Substitute teachers can use the mileage going to and from the
different schools.

NOTE: Keep a day timer to keep track of your roundtrip mileage
and items you purchase for school. If you go to the same places all
the time then you can make an index such as:

ITEM NO.       PLACE            MILES
1                       Target                   12
2                       Art Store                3
3                       Savon                     7
4                       Teachers Store     32

In your day timer all you have to do is list the ITEM NO. in place of
writing down the PLACE and MILES. This makes it easy.
Clients that have kept a log could not believe how much money they
spent on items for school and the number of miles they went.

NOTE:
If you see any errors or have other items I omitted please
do not hesitate to contact me.
