Stop Leaving Money on the Road: A Guide to Mileage Tracking for Small Businesses
Running a business involves juggling numerous responsibilities, and managing finances often tops the list of challenges. One area that frequently goes unnoticed is tracking business mileage. Yet, this simple practice can lead to significant tax deductions, saving you hundreds—sometimes even thousands—of dollars annually.
Why Mileage Tracking Matters
Every mile you drive for business purposes—be it meeting clients, attending conferences, or picking up supplies—can be deducted on your taxes. The IRS offers a standard mileage rate (which adjusts annually), allowing you to deduct a specific amount per business mile driven. However, to claim this deduction, accurate records are essential.
Simplify the Process with the Right Tools
Gone are the days of manual logbooks. Modern mileage tracking apps can automatically record your trips, categorize them, and generate reports, ensuring you have all the necessary documentation come tax time. These tools not only save time but also provide peace of mind, knowing that your records are precise and compliant.
