IRS mileage rate and work miles
If you drive your own car for work, the IRS standard mileage rate sets what you can deduct, and many employers use it to pay you back. Start with the current IRS mileage rate, with past rates by date. Federal employees and contractors can check the GSA mileage rate. Then learn how to claim mileage on your taxes, what a mileage log for taxes needs, and whether the standard mileage rate or actual expenses gives you more.
