Mileage
Drives recorded for you, drives added by hand, the odometer and the log.
Guides
- Add a drive the phone didn't recordA signing with no drive — the app was off, another car, no phone app — gets its miles from the job. An errand, like a drop-off or the bank, is added by hand on Mileage.
- Export your mileage logDownload the year's mileage log as a spreadsheet (CSV) — each drive's date, route, purpose, miles, the rate that day and its worth — for your records or your tax preparer.
- File your drives: work, personal or commuteTell the log what each drive was for — a signing, an errand, personal or commuting — with a swipe on the phone or File… on the web. Only filed business drives count toward your deduction.
- Record your odometer readingsNote your car's odometer on the first of the year and again at its end. Two readings give the total miles driven between them — which your tax return asks for beside your business miles.
- See a drive on a map, and fix itOpen any drive to see its route, where and when it started and ended, how it was measured and what it was filed as — then change what it was for, move it to another job, or remove it.
Questions
- Two of my devices recorded the same drive — is it counted twice?No. When your phone and your tablet (or two phones) record the same trip, it is counted once. The second recording is kept, marked, and adds nothing — and you can change which one counts.
- What happens when I remove a drive, or mark it personal?Neither is erased. A personal drive stays in your log without its route, its ends named only by town; a removed one leaves the log, and loses its names and notes. Both are out of your deduction.
- Which mileage rate does Hand & Seal use?The IRS standard mileage rate in force on each drive's own date — so when the rate changes during a year, drives before the change keep the old rate and drives after it get the new one.
