As you may know, many people are opting to use a mileage app on their smart phone in lieu of the paper mileage logs. We feel that most of our clients have already taken this route. Therefore, we will be phasing out providing these mileage logs within the next couple years. We have some suggestions for apps you may like to try.
For iOS Users
Mile Tracker – Mileage Tracker & Mileage Log for Tax Deduction
MileIQ uses smart drive-detection technology to automatically log your drives and calculate their value. You get the reimbursement or deduction you deserve with a minimum amount of effort.
Mileage Log by Contrast
Hands down one of the most feature packed and easy to use mileage trackers around. Not only can Mileage Log+ track business miles, but charity and medical miles as well. All miles logged will automatically go by standard current IRS rates, unless you change them. Save trips you take frequently for one tap access later, enter a beginning and end point and let Mileage Log+ do the heavy lifting by automatically calculating distance, and much more. When you need to get reimbursed, simply export your reports and send them on their way right within the app.
Milog
While Milog has a plain interface, it has an intuitive and clean design. Unique to this app is the ability to turn off features that you aren’t interested in. With toggle switches, you may elect to hide fields such as tolls or parking that you may not need. In this way, the app is flexible to fit your needs. The export feature only drafts an email report, not an attachment. Milog also has a free version for trial, which limits your recording to five logs.
TripLog/1040
TripLog/1040 is a solid mileage and expense tracking app. It is full featured with support expenses, frequent trips, odometer or distance readings, and export via email. The single-screen interface is both a blessing and a curse. While it is nice to not have to search for buried features, however, because everything fits onto a single screen the layout is a bit crowded and the buttons are small, especially when using the spinning wheels for setting the odometer numbers. TripLog/1040 lacks the visual panache of some of the other mileage apps but it functions well and gets the job done.
