IRS Standard Mileage Rate Explained
The IRS sets a standard mileage rate every year that covers the cost of operating a vehicle for tax-deductible purposes. As of 2026 (subject to annual adjustment): 67 cents per mile for business, 21 cents for medical and moving (military only), and 14 cents for charitable miles. The business rate is updated yearly based on fuel and operating costs.
Reimbursement at or below the standard rate is tax-free to the employee under an accountable plan. Above the standard rate, the excess is taxable wages. Most companies pay exactly the IRS rate. Self-employed people deduct mileage on Schedule C; employees can no longer deduct unreimbursed business mileage after the TCJA (2017-2025).
Keep a contemporaneous log: date, destination, business purpose, and miles. A simple notebook works; apps like MileIQ, Everlance, or Stride track automatically via GPS. The IRS may request it on audit. Commuting (home to regular office) is never deductible, even with a business stop on the way.
IRS rates change annually. Always use the rate in effect for the tax year you are claiming. Consult your CPA for state-specific or special-situation rules.
