Frequently Asked Questions
Truck drivers may be able to deduct a wide range of business expenses, including per diem meals, fuel, mileage, repairs, maintenance, insurance, permits, tolls, equipment, communication costs, and accounting fees. The exact deductions you qualify for depend on how your business is structured and how your expenses are tracked, which is why working with a trucking tax professional matters.
Vehicles used for business may qualify for Section 179 if they meet IRS weight and usage requirements. Many commercial trucks, tractors, and certain heavy-duty vehicles over 6,000 pounds can qualify, allowing you to deduct part or all of the purchase price in the year the vehicle is placed into service. Eligibility and limits vary, so proper planning is important before claiming the deduction.
Owner-operators typically pay self-employment taxes plus federal and state income taxes, but the total amount varies widely based on income, deductions, and business structure. With proper tax planning and trucking-specific deductions applied, many owner-operators can significantly reduce what they owe compared to filing without professional guidance.
