What Is Mileage In QuickBooks Online For Drivers?

The Mileage feature in QuickBooks Online is a tool that allows you to track and record business mileage for tax purposes or reimbursement. This feature allows you to record the start and end locations, purpose of the trip, and total miles driven for each trip. QuickBooks Online will then calculate the total mileage for the trip and the amount of money you can claim for the trip based on the IRS mileage rate. This information can be useful for keeping track of business expenses, especially if you are self-employed or have a small business that requires you to drive for work purposes.
