If a USPS worker buys a car for use while working with personal monies- without the 2106 is they a way to deduct that expense without a 2106?  All the publication I read are very confusing about proper habndling of these details....

You know that the Car is not the expense. Operating it would be expense. Doesn't she get an allowance, though? You have to take that reimbursement allowance into consideration.

The car might well be a Section 179 deduction.  Most of them buy used Jeeps.
