How Mileage Tax Deductions Work
If you drive for business, you may be able to deduct the cost of those miles on your tax return. The IRSCRA publishes standard mileage rates each year that let self-employed individuals, freelancers, and business owners claim a per-mile or per-kilometer deduction instead of tracking actual vehicle expenses.
For 2026, the IRS standard mileage rate is 72.5 cents per mile for business use. This rate is designed to cover gas, insurance, depreciation, and maintenance.For 2026, the CRA rate is 73 cents per kilometer for the first 5,000 km, and 67 cents per kilometer after that. These rates are designed to cover gas, insurance, depreciation, and maintenance.
To claim the deduction, you need a contemporaneous mileage log—a record of each business trip including the date, destination, business purpose, and distance driven. The IRSCRA requires this documentation in case of an audit. Use our free mileage log template to create a compliant record, or let OdoAlibi track your trips automatically.
