Let OneTerp suggest your mileage
Turn the jobs you actually drove to into suggested mileage entries for your own tax records, which you review before anything is saved.
Reconstructing a day's driving weeks later is the worst part of tax season. OneTerp can route the day you actually worked, home to the first job, between the jobs, and back home again, and offer you the mileage as suggestions you can accept.
Step by step
- 1Open the Expenses & Taxes section in Freelance HQ.
- 2Turn on mileage suggestions and set whether the drive from home to your first job and back from your last should be included.
- 3Review the suggested entries. Each one shows the route it came from.
- 4Accept the ones that are right, and ignore or edit the rest.
Tips
- 🔴 This is your tax record and nothing else. A suggestion never changes the travel or mileage on a job closeout, never changes what an agency bills, and never changes what anyone pays you. Your agency does not see it.
- Nothing is saved until you accept it. The suggestions are there to be checked, not to be trusted blindly, because only you know which trips you actually made.
- If one leg of a day cannot be routed, the whole day is held back with the reason shown, rather than offering you a total that is quietly missing a trip.
- A job you worked as W-2 staff is used as a stop on the route but is not offered as its own suggestion, because those miles are your employer's to reimburse rather than a deduction you claim.
- The rate used is the one you set on your expenses, and it is stamped onto each entry as you accept it.
