small business mileage deduction

Make your Miles Count!

August 09, 20241 min read

Mileage is one of the most common but missed deductions in small businesses. Did you know you can deduct 67 cents for every single mile driven for business purposes for 2024?

The IRS REQUIRES that you keep a mileage log with:

Date and time
Where you went
Beginning and ending mileage
Purpose of trip (must be for business)

This deduction can be huge if you do a lot of driving! Trips to the post office, bank, picking up supplies, delivering orders, going to events, conferences, and the list goes on!

Unfortunately commuting to and from home to your office, warehouse, or Brick & Mortar store does not count.

Hint: If you need to make a trip to the post office or bank, go straight there from your home before going to your place of work. Your mileage from home then becomes deductible!

There are plenty of mileage tracking apps available to help you with tracking mileage! QuickBooks has one if you have a subscription! Other apps recommended by my clients are Everlance, MileIQ, and Stride.

Alison Soles of Soles Accounting, LLC. saved my butt this year! I still hadn't filed my 2022 taxes due to anxiety and the deadline was approaching. Alison not only got them done in time, but she was SOOO amazing to work with. She was so calm, explained everything to me, and just overall an absolute pleasure to work with. If you need a tax person, I highly highly suggest Alison!

I can't recommend Alison Soles enough! She's literally amazing! She's patient and thorough. The day I reached out to her, I had a huge mess from my past 2 CPA's, she has since gotten me all caught up & is ready to file 2023 already! She's versed in Shopify, Quickbooks and others! She has a small business herself so she gets it! Best decision I ever made!

Soles Accounting has been amazing to work with the last few years. Alison has helped me understand my finances better as someone who is very financially illiterate and made me feel more confident each year when tax time comes. She takes the time to answer my many questions and makes sure all bases are covered. She is kind and patient and 100% knowledgeable about what she does but also has a talent for explaining things and making sure I am informed too on things I need to know about for my business. If you are considering these services I highly recommend working with Soles Accounting for taxes or bookkeeping needs.
