IRS Tax information update

Getting your taxes organized for your 2008 return? I found this information on the IRS website- thought I would pass it on (r.e.: 2009)

The IRA recently issued the 2009 optional standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.

Beginning on Jan. 1, 2009, the standard mileage rates are:
55 cents per mile for business miles driven
24 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes
14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations
