The S corp can reimburse him, under an accountable plan, for business use of his vehicle using the standard mileage rate.

Regarding your question if a more than 2% shareholder/employee of his S corp use the mileage rate deduction for auto use drives for business... What if the the S corp does not reimburse due to lack of cash, Can the S corp take the deduction for mileage and credit Additional Paid in Capital?
