Gas reimbursement from employer or from IRS?

Hi everyone,

I asked about gas reimbursement a couple weeks ago. I talked to my boss and she said just got back to me today and said i have two options:

• employer reimburses me for gas (at rate equal to or less than IRS standard)
• employer does not reimburse me for gas, and i file a form with IRS to claim unreimbursed mileage at full rate.

She strongly suggested the second option.

Does anyone have any input for this? I usually just use turbo tax and I’m not very well educated on the whole tax process. I usually don’t get that much back. I’d really prefer to have them reimburse me as I drive, but i don’t understand why they’d be allowed to reimburse me for less than the IRS standard??

Thanks in advance!
