Footnotes

  1. Taxpayers who do not adopt the special accounting period must measure mileage for the calendar year (i.e., January-December). IRS Annual 85-113 allows employers to adopt any 12-month period that ends between October 31 and December 31.
  2. Company-provided fuel computed at 5.5 cents per mile; an employer can choose to use FMV instead.
  3. FMV is re-determined at January 1 (or the beginning of the special accounting period) of the fifth calendar tax year based on the FMV at that time. FMV may be re-determined on January 1 of the year of transfer (or the beginning of the special accounting period) if the vehicle is transferred to another employee.
