How the mileage deduction works
The IRS allows gig workers and independent contractors to deduct business miles at the standard mileage rate. For 2026, that rate is $0.725 per mile. This covers gas, depreciation, insurance, and maintenance.
To claim the deduction, you need a contemporaneous mileage log — recording the date, destination, business purpose, and miles for each trip. ShiftTracker automates this with GPS tracking during your shifts.
