Every client visit is a deduction.

Smart Miles is designed for all-day use. It uses motion detection to activate GPS only when you're driving, and switches to low-power heartbeat mode when stationary. Most users see minimal battery impact — comparable to having Google Maps installed.

Yes. Smart Miles captures every field needed for mileage deductions: date, destination, business purpose, and miles driven. Records are created contemporaneously (at the time of travel), which is what the IRS recommends for substantiation. Export a CSV with all fields for your accountant or tax software.

Absolutely. Tap the + button to manually add a trip with start/end locations, date, time, and purpose. The app calculates the driving distance automatically.

Smart Miles offers three tiers of auto-classification (frequent trip rules, work hours, and manual), accurate road-level routes, and a full web dashboard — all included. We never delete your unclassified trips, and we don't gate exports behind a premium plan.

Smart Miles includes the official IRS Standard Mileage Rates, updated whenever the IRS changes them. For 2026 (as of July 1): Business at $0.76/mile, Medical/Moving at $0.235/mile, and Charity at $0.14/mile. You can also set custom rates if your employer reimburses at a different amount.

Yes. Every Smart Miles account includes a web dashboard where you can view, edit, filter, and export your trips from any browser. Same data, bigger screen.

Since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, W-2 employees generally cannot deduct unreimbursed mileage on their federal return. However, some states still allow it. More importantly, if your employer reimburses mileage, you need an accurate log to get paid back. Smart Miles gives you that log automatically — export a CSV and submit it for reimbursement.

No — driving from home to your regular office is commuting and not deductible. But driving from your office to a client site, or from one client to another, is business mileage. If you work from home and your home office is your principal place of business, different rules may apply. We recommend consulting a tax professional for your specific situation.

Yes. The web dashboard lets you filter trips by date range, then export just that period as a CSV. Submit weekly, biweekly, or monthly — whatever your company's reimbursement cycle requires.
