Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IRS mileage rate for 2026?
76¢ a mile for business driving, from July 1, 2026. The rate covers gas, wear and tear, insurance and depreciation. It does not include parking and tolls, which are reimbursed separately.
Does my employer have to reimburse mileage?
Federal law does not require it unless unreimbursed costs push your pay below the minimum wage. Some states, including California, Illinois and Massachusetts, require employers to reimburse necessary work expenses such as driving your own car for work.
Is mileage reimbursement taxable?
Not when your employer pays it under an accountable plan: you report the miles and the business purpose, and the payment is no more than the IRS rate. Amounts above the rate, or flat car allowances without mileage records, are taxable wages.
Can I deduct mileage my employer does not pay?
Not as a W-2 employee: unreimbursed employee expenses are not deductible on a federal return. Self-employed people and 1099 contractors can deduct business miles at the standard rate.
Does my commute count as business miles?
No. Driving from home to your regular workplace is commuting. Driving between job sites, to a client or on a delivery route during the day is business driving.
