As an Entrepreneur, we are responsible to know what and how to track our business information for tax purposes. And there is just a ton of things that need to be tracked throughout the year. One of them that has always been a little bit of a struggle for me is mileage. Sometimes I drive over 100 miles a day to work with clients and mileage is a tax write-off that I want to track accurately. So, I decided to take action this weekend.
There are a lot of reasons that we need to track our daily mileage. Whether you are a business owner, work for a company that requires you to travel or track mileage for medical reasons; having an accurate way to track mileage is necessary.
Keeping a log in the car - a great idea ( if you remember to enter in the information); pulling addresses works from mapquest works well - but requires a ton of time to maintain (printing out all that information just doesn't seem like a good use of my time and money in ink and paper). I felt as if there had to be another answer.
I'm just a little behind the times, my Android phone is just a few months old. But this weekend, I set aside some time from laying out this week's projects abd I decided to find out how I could track my mileage via my cell phone. The habit of tracking my mileage needed to change. I needed to use a system that was quick, easy and friendly - I didn't have a ton of time to sit and learn a new program, not right now. So, I began my search and within a short period of time - about an hour - I found my answer.
