Hold everything! The IRS has made an announcement that it is actually more expensive to run a car than they thought. They have raised the business mileage rate 4.5 cents for July 1 to December 31 to 55.5 cents a mile from the original 51 cents a mile. (They should have done this in January, but being about six months behind the times, they naturally have to wait until gas prices start going down before raising the business cost per mile). Okay everyone, back to our regularly scheduled program.
