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

Rather than actively tracking your miles in real-time, Slacklog creates a comprehensive mileage report based on your reported business driving activity. Here's how the process works:

  • You'll answer a series of detailed questions.
  • The resulting spreadsheet report helps you maintain records for tax and reimbursement purposes.

This approach offers an advantage for business drivers:

  • You don't need to remember to start or stop a tracking device or app for each business trip

While Slacklog doesn't function as a real-time GPS tracker, it provides a reliable method for documenting your business mileage based on your reported driving patterns and routes. This documentation can be particularly valuable for tax purposes, expense reports, and business records.

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.
