📱 Mileage Tracking Tips
Use Automatic Tracking
Apps like Stride, Hurdlr, or QuickBooks Self-Employed automatically track your miles using GPS. No manual logging required!
Track Every Trip
Log miles immediately after each trip. Waiting until year-end makes it impossible to reconstruct accurate records.
Document Purpose
Note the business purpose of each trip (e.g., "DoorDash delivery," "Client meeting"). The IRS requires this.
Separate Personal Miles
Only business miles are deductible. Commuting from home to your first pickup doesn't count.
Keep Records for 3 Years
The IRS can audit up to 3 years back. Save your mileage logs digitally or in print.
Choose One Method
You can't switch between standard mileage and actual expenses mid-year. Pick one and stick with it.
