Last year I drove almost 5200 miles for my job. That translates to a $2781 tax deduction that would be DISALLOWED in an audit by the IRS if I didn't have a contemporaneous mileage log. The key word here is "contemporaneous" which in this case means written down as it happened, not recreated at the end of the year when you realize you forgot.
For $60/year, MileIQ makes this easy. I like working smarter, not harder. And, this year, MileIQ is offering my clients a 20% discount on annual unlimited-drive plans. Subscriptions are regularly priced at $5.99/mo. or $59.99/yr. (Here’s how to redeem promo codes.)
You can try MileIQ by downloading the free app for iOS or Android. To get an annual unlimited-drive plan at a 20% discount, sign in to your MileIQ web dashboard, click “Get Unlimited Drives” and use promo code BGAR201A at checkout. (Note that the discount is not valid for in-app upgrades or monthly plans.)
At 53.5 cents for every business mile in 2017, it'll pay for itself in just a few drives! And remember, the subscription is usually deductible too. For more information, see this flyer.
