For business use of a personal vehicle.  Mileage log and other documentation required.  A taxpayer may not use the business standard mileage rate for a vehicle after  using any depreciation method under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery  System (MACRS) or after claiming a Section 179 deduction for that vehicle. In  addition, the business standard mileage rate cannot be used for any vehicle used  for hire or for more than four vehicles used simultaneously.
