Who this is for: Managers and Field Workers | Tax Checkpoint: Mileage deductions feed your Tax Planning automatically
⏱️ Time savings
The IRS requires a mileage log that records the date, destination, purpose, and miles for every deductible trip. PriceRight Pro logs all of this in under 30 seconds per trip — and calculates your deduction automatically at the current IRS rate.
Open the Trip Log #
Open the Mileage Tracker from the home screen. The nav title shows Trip Log for all trips, or Trips: [job name] when filtered to a specific job. If no trips have been logged yet, the screen reads: “No Trips Yet — Start tracking from a job or tap + to add a trip manually.”
Log a trip #
Tap + in the top-right corner. The Manual Trip sheet opens. Fill in four sections:
- Trip Details — select the date, enter the miles driven, and choose the trip purpose: Job Site, Supply Run, Client Meeting, or Other
- Start Address — where you departed from
- End Address — where you drove to
- Notes (optional) — any detail worth capturing for your records
Below the form, a live IRS Deduction preview shows what this trip is worth at the current rate. Tap Save to record it.
Your mileage summary #
The summary header shows two columns — This Month and Year to Date. Each column shows total miles logged, the total IRS deduction in dollars, and drive time when available. Below the summary, a note shows the current IRS rate and a reminder to update it in Settings if it changes mid-year: “IRS Rate: $X.XXX/mi · Update in Settings.”
Edit a trip #
Tap any trip row to open the edit sheet. The edit form adds Start Time and End Time fields for precise drive-time recording, and locks in the IRS rate that was in effect when the trip was created. Both the deduction and the rate used are shown so your records are audit-ready.
Tax Planning connection #
Every trip’s deduction feeds your Tax Planning module automatically. Each trip stores a snapshot of the IRS rate at the time it was logged, so the deduction is locked in even if the rate changes later in the year. You don’t need to export or transfer anything — mileage deductions appear in your tax summary as you log them.
