      Use the standard mileage rate for your car expenses ($.50 per mile for 2010). Count the trips to the bank and any other trip in which the primary purpose was business. Also, count the business portion of your car loan interest. You can't claim depreciation when you use the standard mileage rate. Because you are going to sell it soon, it's best to use the standard mileage rate anyway.
