Date & time
Know when the drive happened.
MILEAGE RECORDS
Keep Your MileageOrganized for Tax Time
Record drives throughout the year, organize business mileage, and keep a clearer trip history instead of reconstructing months of driving later.
KEEP USEFUL DETAILS
A mileage record is more than a total distance.
Keeping useful trip details throughout the year makes the record easier to understand and review later.
Route & destination
Keep context around where the trip went.
Distance
Keep the mileage or kilometres associated with the drive.
Business context
Keep work and personal driving easier to distinguish.
IMPORTANT
HonestMile isn't tax software.
HonestMile helps record and organize driving information. It does not file taxes, decide whether a trip is deductible, or calculate your final tax claim.
Tax rules vary by jurisdiction and individual circumstances. Use current official guidance or a qualified tax professional when deciding how your mileage should be reported.
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
Build the record before you need the report.
The difficult part usually isn't looking at a total. It's remembering all the drives that created it.
