Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to log your business miles for the IRS?

Slacklog is a mileage log generator.

It only takes 15 minutes to generate a printable mileage report for your annual tax return. It's private and secure.

The cost is $10 with a Credit or Debit Card.

You answer a series of questions, and it creates a mileage log. You will receive a minimally formatted XLSX file with pre-filled data you can customize in your preferred spreadsheet editor.

Why Slacklog?

Using a mileage log allows you to accurately track your vehicle-related expenses, including fuel, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation. This helps you claim the correct deductions and ensures you don't overlook any eligible expenses.

FAQ

When you purchase from Slacklog, you'll receive your data in an XLSX (Microsoft Excel) spreadsheet format. This format gives you complete flexibility to modify, analyze, and customize the document to suit your needs. You can edit any aspect of the spreadsheet, including:

  • Edit and update the raw data within your spreadsheet, allowing you to make corrections or add new information as needed
  • Customize the formatting and layout to match your company's visual style and reporting requirements
  • Add your own calculations and formulas to perform additional analysis on the data
  • Create charts and visualizations to better understand and present your data
  • Rearrange columns and rows to prioritize the information that matters most to your business

Since the file is in standard XLSX format, you can work with it using popular spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or Apple Numbers. This means you maintain full control over your data and can continue to modify it long after your purchase.

What's particularly useful about receiving an editable XLSX file is that you can integrate this data with your existing spreadsheets or business processes. For instance, you might want to combine it with other data sources, create pivot tables for deeper analysis, or extract specific portions for reporting purposes.

Deductions for Business Use

If you use your vehicle for business purposes, you can deduct the expenses related to that use. The Slacklog mileage log helps you track the number of miles you drive for business, which can be used to calculate your deduction. This can significantly reduce your taxable income and lower your tax liability.
