Many times our residents have medical expenses that include automobile expenses.  If you are calculating medical expenses that include that type of transportation, this is vital information.  The Internal Revenue Service has issued its 2023 standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical and moving purposes.

Beginning January 1, 2023, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (which includes vans, pickups and panel trucks) is:

• 22 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes (up 4 cents from the rate for 2022)
• 65.5 cents per mile for business use
• 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations
