At the end of the day you can receive an Excel spreadsheet via email with an option to cc a secondary email such as an employer.Â

Estimate Wages & Fuel Expenses
Enter in your hourly age and cost per gallon and the Fleetistics mobile app gives you estimated costs for each work shift.
Deducting Mileage from Taxes
Most people are aware that mileage can be deducted as an expense for taxes. Conversly, if you are paid mileage reimbursement, it is taxable. What is important in any scenario is good documentation to support your claim. A GPS tracker is a great way to handle this in a company vehicle and the Fleetistics mobile app can provide records if driving a personal vehicle.
Of course, check with your CPA for rules and regulations around reimbursement and tax deductions.
