Ready to level up your tax game and have some fun while at it? We’ve got just the ticket for you: mileage tracking! Let’s dive in and explore how tracking your miles can save you some serious cash while adding a touch of adventure to your financial journey.
Mileage tracking, my friend, is the art of keeping a log of your travels for reimbursement or tax deductions. In the wild world of 2022, your business miles are worth a cool 58 cents per mile, a 2.5 cent increase from the previous year. So, don’t forget to keep an accurate mileage log that tracks every single one of those business miles you clock. Trust us, your employers will appreciate it too, as it helps them calculate the mileage reimbursement they owe you.
Now, let’s talk about what the IRS considers as deductible mileage. It’s like unlocking a treasure chest of savings! You can deduct miles for business-related, charity, moving, and medical purposes. The IRS understands that using your personal vehicle for business comes with a cost, and they’ve got your back with mileage reimbursement.
Picture this: your business drives can include customer visits, client meetings, jaunts between offices or workplaces, trips to temporary job sites, even those odd jobs like babysitting or grabbing supplies from the store. It’s a mileage bonanza! But hey, fair warning, your daily commute to work doesn’t make the cut. The IRS sees that as a personal choice, so sadly, it’s not deductible. But fear not, there are plenty of other mileage adventures to be had.
Now, let’s get you started on this mileage-tracking expedition. How do you track your business miles like a pro? You’ve got options, my friend. You can go old school with a handwritten log or use a snazzy mileage log template. But why not take it up a notch with a user-friendly mileage-tracking system like ExpressMileage?
