Car expense

[sassiebaz]

I'm trying to find a way to use the car payment as an expense. Currently Im driving my Mom's car and making the payments. I know the trustee would not allow this as an expense. What if my Mom added me to the title? I wouldn't be on the loan though. Would that allow me to take it as an expense?

Do y'all even have the title? If your mom has a loan on the vehicle then I think that the bank or financing company have the title to the vehicle since technically they own it until she has paid it off. I really don't think that you will be able to claim that as an expense in your 13.

I talked to the credit union and they can add me. Just didn't know if that will allow me to take an expense or not. I meet with a new attorney on Thursday.

I'm glad you've got a new attorney, but I think that if the loan is not in your name then it cannot be included as an expense... maybe if you have insurance in your name on the vehicle?? I don't know, allowable expenses are complicated.
