Mileage Reimbursement Calculator FAQ
- Can I use this calculator for state tax deductions?
- The calculator is designed for U.S. federal IRS standard mileage rates. State tax rules vary, so you should check your specific state's guidelines to see if these federal rates apply to your state tax filings.
- What if I drove for both business and personal reasons?
- You should only enter the miles driven for the specific purpose you are claiming a deduction for—business, medical, or charity. Personal miles are not deductible under the IRS standard mileage rate method.
- How often are the mileage rates updated?
- The federal mileage rates are announced yearly by the IRS. This calculator includes rates for tax years from 2018 through 2026, with the ability to select a custom rate if needed.
- Is the result a guaranteed refund amount?
- No, the result is an estimate based on the standard IRS rate per mile. Your actual deductible amount may differ depending on your individual tax situation, filing status, and whether you choose the standard deduction or itemize expenses.
