Understanding IRS Mileage Reimbursement
What is Mileage Reimbursement?
IRS mileage reimbursement is a standardized amount per mile that taxpayers can deduct for business, medical, or charitable use of their personal vehicle. These rates are updated annually by the IRS and cover fuel, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation costs.
Three Categories of Deductible Mileage
- •Business: Driving for work-related purposes (highest rate)
- •Medical: Trips to medical appointments and treatments
- •Charitable: Volunteer work for qualified charities (lowest rate)
Calculation Formula
Reimbursement = Miles × IRS Rate
The calculation is straightforward: multiply the number of miles driven for each purpose by the corresponding IRS rate for that tax year.
What's Included in Standard Rate
- • Fuel and oil
- • Vehicle maintenance and repairs
- • Insurance premiums
- • Vehicle depreciation
- • Registration fees
Note: Parking fees, tolls, and other trip-specific costs can be deducted separately
