How this number is made
Reimbursement and the tax deduction are both miles times a rate. The default rate matches the 76 cents used on the 1099 page for July 2026. The IRS has changed mileage rates mid-year before. If your trip is under a different rate, type it.
- Count business miles, not the commute from home to your regular workplace.
- The rate is whatever applies to the date of the miles.
Formula
Reimbursement = miles × rate.
Worked example
With the figures already in the form, reimbursement is $182.40.
Questions
Is 76 cents current for my trip?
It is the rate this site uses for miles on or after July 1, 2026. Earlier 2026 miles were 72.5 cents. Type the rate for the day you drove.
Can I deduct miles and also get reimbursed?
No. A tax-free reimbursement replaces the deduction. Deducting both is double counting.
