Use your mileage records when filing your tax return

If you’ve been tracking trips with the Vehicle Mileage Tracker, you can use your records to claim mileage-related deductions or report reimbursed travel on your tax return. The report includes miles traveled and the calculated dollar value for each type of trip.

Whether you file your return manually or use tax software, Quicken helps you organize the data you need.
