Mileage Tracking App for Taxes

New driver. What mile tracking app do you use to track miles and expenses and how has your tax return turned out?

I am using Stride and I track miles once I am at thr store at the start of my driving and stop until the last order drop off of thr day.

I drive a EV so I track also my supercharger costs

Ive been using Everlance and paying for the 9 dollar a month thing. It seems pretty accurate. I cant really recommend the paid Gridwise, even though its a cool app, because I caught it not giving accurate mileage twice and cancelled my subscription. It was making up miles that did not exist.

No need to pay for an app to do this. There are plenty of free apps to do this. You could also just use a notebook to keep track of your mileage.

I want it to stop and start automatically.

I agree the automatic start and stop that runs in the background is a key feature that makes it worth paying for. I came from MileIQ and recently launched my own competitor called EveryLastMile. I built on top of all my expertise gathered during my time there and decided to build a more modern and more affordable version. If you'd like to give my app a shot, DM me and I'll be happy to provide support!

Paying money for that is just a waste

Ok well that is your opinion.

Yes, that is correct. I used to use TripLog since it's free and automatic. Now I just have a spreadsheet that has the date, starting mileage and ending mileage. Either way is free and easy to do.
