Draft:Mileage Quest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mileage Quest, founded in 2023, is an American software company that develops a mileage tracking application for business use. Compatible on both iOS and Android devices, the app uses GPS technology to automatically log user trips for transparent and compliant business mileage reporting. Mileage Quest works as a personal copilot for professionals, providing IRS-compliant reports and calendar integration to facilitate mileage tracking for tax deductions and reimbursements.

About

[edit]

Mileage Quest was launched in July 2023, by a team of certified public accountants[1] and account managers who identified a need for a comprehensive mileage tracking solution[2] in industries such as business services, real estate, finance, and healthcare.

Initially available on iOS devices, its core features, GPS tracking, calendar syncing, and report generation, were designed to streamline mileage tracking in alignment with IRS guidelines. In addition to tracking, the company emphasizes educating users on IRS requirements to support mileage documentation. The app’s development[3] reflects a focus on empowering users by enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of mileage reporting for both individuals and businesses.

Features

[edit]

Mileage Quest named their application after their company[4] and is designed to automatically log trips in the background, utilizing trip detection and calendar integration features to record mileage without manual user inputs.

Once set up, the app categorizes trips based on IRS-compliant trip categories, including business, commute, personal, medical, and even charitable mileage. These mileage logs can be compiled into reports that can be submitted for tax purposes to a tax preparer or employer.

To support various tracking needs, Mileage Quest allows users to customize mileage rates and set preferences for logging periods, including privacy features that can temporarily suspend tracking or schedule work hours to exclude any travel unrelated to business purposes.
