Frequently asked questions

What does the IRS require in a mileage log?

The IRS expects the date, destination, business purpose and miles for each trip, recorded at or near the time of the trip. Odometer readings make it stronger.

What mileage rate should I use?

Use your employer's reimbursement rate, or the IRS standard mileage rate for the tax year. The rate changes yearly, so check the current figure.

Can I use this for gig driving?

Yes. Log each shift or trip; it works for rideshare and delivery drivers.

Is this mileage log free?

Yes. Edit online and download a PDF or Excel copy with no sign-up.
