Delivery Driver Mileage Tracker
Maximize your Schedule C tax write-offs with automatic GPS tracking and real-time 2026 IRS split rates (72.5¢ & 76.0¢).
Official 2026 IRS Mileage Rules for 1099 Drivers
In 2026, the IRS established a mid-year split rate adjustment. Because inflation and gas prices fluctuated, your deduction rate depends on the date your trip was completed:
10,000 miles driven = $7,250 tax deduction
10,000 miles driven = $7,600 tax deduction
💡 Why this matters: Generic spreadsheets that only multiply by one flat rate can underreport your legal tax deductions. GigDecider automatically applies the correct split rate to each trip’s timestamp.
What the IRS Requires in Your Mileage Log
If audited, the IRS rejects rough estimates. Tax court requires a contemporary written or electronic log containing four specific data points:
The exact date and time when the gig driving shift occurred.
Starting location and destination of each delivery route or shift.
Platform name (e.g. DoorDash delivery, Uber rideshare, Instacart batch).
GPS track log or documented starting and ending odometer readings.
