Track vehicle mileage for business and tax purposes

Use the Vehicle Mileage Tracker in Quicken to record and manage tax-deductible miles for business, medical, charitable, and rental property purposes. You can manually enter trips, apply mileage rates, print logs, and customize your view. This helps ensure accurate mileage records for tax reporting or reimbursement.

When you enter your first trip, Quicken adds mileage categories to your Category List. These categories begin with _Mileage and are linked to the correct tax line items. Do not rename or delete these categories.

Check with a tax professional before deducting mileage. In some cases, you can only deduct mileage for medical or other purposes if your total expenses exceed a percentage of your adjusted gross income (AGI). Quicken does not determine eligibility or apply IRS thresholds.

To open the mileage tracker:

Go to the Business tab.
