The IRS has increased the standard mileage deduction rates for business, medical, and moving purposes starting July 1, 2026, due to rising gas prices influenced by the Iran war disrupting Middle East oil flow. Business mileage deductions rose to 76 cents per mile from 72.5 cents, while medical and moving rates increased to 23.5 cents from 20.5 cents. Gas prices have surged nearly 25% over the past year, contributing to inflation pressures and complicating the Federal Reserve's outlook on interest rate cuts. This adjustment helps taxpayers offset higher fuel costs amid ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting oil supply.
