Question

Ethan started a new business on April 1, 2025, and is self-employed. He drove 2,150 business miles and 7,200 commuting miles during the year and qualifies to use the standard mileage rate. What amount should be reported on line 9 of his Schedule C (Form 1040)?
 $1,441

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Line 9 = deductible business miles × standard mileage rate.

2,150 business miles × $0.67/mile = $1,440.50 → $1,441 (rounded).

(Commuting miles are personal and not deductible. This uses the $0.67/mile standard rate.)
