Overview
The Mileage Tracker in Quicken Business & Personal makes it easy to track your business and personal mileage. Keeping your mileage organized can help you stay prepared for tax time.
How Does It Work?
The Mileage Tracker offers two ways to log your miles:
Trip Details: Log individual trips by entering the starting location, destination, and distance traveled.
Miles Only: Enter the total miles driven in one step, which is useful if you track your mileage elsewhere.
After logging your miles, you can:
View all mileage entries and a running total.
See the total distance driven for business and personal trips.
View mileage totals for each business or your personal trips.
See mileage totals calculated using the current IRS mileage rate.
Filter your mileage by Business or Personal.
Use the Time Period filter to view mileage for a specific date range.
