Employer reimburses auto expense ....can I still deduct?

[LCP]

Does an accountable plan preclude the taxpayer from using a different method and deducting the dif?

Taxpayer gets an allowance of $600 (not on her W-2) per month plus reimbursement for gas.

Both the actual and mileage method would result in a higher deduction.

Sure, TP can deduct difference

Use Form 2106 to report the expenses and reimbursements. Of course, net goes to Sch A and subject to the 2% whack.
