Thanks so much Carol. I notice you happen to make this comment the day before taxes are due. Yikes! I assume if you are relaxed, you are thinking about next year. 🙂 Be sure to check out our toolkit page for some resources that might help. And let us know what questions this doesn’t answer for you. We’ll keep working on it.

Interesting. I’m thinking one possible use case of this is freelancers who think it’s probably not worth the effort to track mileage because they don’t have that much. (e.g. If you don’t work much for local/regional clients.) That tool would be a low-investment way to find out for sure. Turn it on, and some of us might be surprised to find out, “Wait, I did have a couple hundred miles this year that could be deductible.”

(Also, I believe that mileage you accumulate for volunteer work for nonprofits can be deductible from your personal income taxes in some cases. I never take the time to track that, and this would help me to get better about it.)
