FAQ

Does DoorDash track my miles for taxes?

Platforms report only limited active-delivery miles. Miles between orders and to pickup zones are usually deductible too — but only if YOU logged them.

How much is 15,000 gig miles worth in 2026?

15,000 × $0.725 = $10,875 deducted from your taxable income — often worth $2,000–3,000 in actual tax, depending on your bracket.

What log does the IRS require?

A contemporaneous record with date, distance and business purpose per trip. MilesPro records it automatically in the background.
