The IRS requires a contemporaneous log. Reconstruct later is risky. Use a free app like Stride or MileIQ to auto-track.
Date, starting point, destination, business purpose, and miles. Each entry takes 10 seconds with a mileage app.
Miles while waiting for a pickup, en route to a pickup, and with a passenger/order are all deductible — not just "with rider" miles.
Commuting from home to your regular workplace is not deductible. Personal errands during a business trip are not deductible.
Most drivers benefit from standard mileage (67¢). Actual expenses work better for high-cost vehicles with low mileage. You must choose in year one.
Record your odometer reading at January 1 and December 31 each year. This helps establish total miles driven for the year.
The IRS can disallow your entire mileage deduction if you cannot produce a contemporaneous log. A simple app or spreadsheet entry per trip is all you need.
Delivery and rideshare drivers can deduct miles driven from home to the first pickup and from the last dropoff back home — if the app was active.
Once you choose the standard mileage method, you can switch to actual expenses later. But if you start with actual expenses, you cannot switch back for that vehicle.
Tolls and parking fees are deductible in addition to mileage — even if you use the standard rate. Keep every receipt or use an app that tracks these.

The IRS standard mileage rate for business use is 67 cents per mile in 2026. This rate covers fuel, depreciation, insurance, and maintenance — you do not need to track individual expenses.
Miles driven for business purposes: client visits, job sites, supply runs, driving between work locations, and for delivery/rideshare — all app-active miles. Commuting from home to a regular workplace is not deductible.
Most self-employed workers benefit more from the standard mileage rate (67¢/mile) since it is simpler and often results in a larger deduction. Use the actual expenses method for expensive vehicles with relatively low mileage.
Yes. The IRS requires a contemporaneous log showing date, destination, business purpose, and miles for each trip. Apps like MileIQ, Stride, or Everlance make this automatic and free.
Yes. All miles while the app is active are deductible — including miles to pickup locations, not just miles with a passenger or order. Many drivers miss thousands of dollars in deductions by only counting "active" miles.
