For contractors, trades & construction

Where a contractor's miles and money go

A typical day: the shop, two job sites, the supply house and back again.

Job sites and estimates

Driving between jobs, to estimates and bids, and back to the shop.

Supply-house and hardware runs

Lumber yards, supply houses and big-box stores — often several times a day.

Every truck and van

Keep miles separate for each vehicle you drive, and see them totaled by vehicle.

*Example only, using the 72.5¢-per-mile IRS standard rate in effect at the start of 2026. Rates change, sometimes mid-year — MileAudit values each drive at the rate for its date. MileAudit is a recordkeeping tool and does not provide tax advice; confirm your eligibility with a qualified professional.

Good to know

General information, not tax advice. Rules depend on your situation — confirm with a qualified tax professional.

  • Driving from one job site to another during the day is generally business. How trips from home to a job site are treated depends on whether you have a regular place of business and whether the site is temporary — worth confirming with your tax pro.
  • Receipt scanning picks up the merchant, amount and date; well-known stores such as Lowe's and Ace Hardware are recognized by name.
  • If your business runs five or more vehicles at the same time, the IRS doesn't allow the standard mileage rate for them — you'd use actual expenses. MileAudit's per-vehicle totals still support either method.
  • Each MileAudit account is for one person's records. On a crew, each driver keeps their own account and exports their own reports.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track more than one truck?

Yes. Add each vehicle you drive and assign drives to it; reports show miles by vehicle.

Can it read receipts from the supply house?

Yes. Scan a receipt in the phone app and the merchant, amount and date are read on your phone. Faded or unusual receipts may need a quick correction before you save.

Are there categories for tools, rentals and subcontractors?

Yes — built-in categories include Supplies, Equipment Rental, Repairs & Maintenance, Contract Labor and Inventory, and you can add your own.

What if I forget to sort my drives?

The Tax Health check flags unclassified drives and missing purposes, and optional phone reminders nudge you when drives are waiting.
