Understanding the 2023 Standard Mileage Rates
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets standard mileage rates annually to help taxpayers calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical, or moving purposes. For the 2023 tax year, these rates saw an increase compared to the start of 2022 due to rising fuel and maintenance costs.
Official IRS Mileage Rates for 2023
If you are filing taxes for the 2023 tax year (typically filed in early 2024), these are the specific rates you must use for your calculations:
| Purpose | Rate per Mile |
|---|---|
| Business | 65.5 cents |
| Medical & Qualified Moving | 22 cents |
| Charitable Organizations | 14 cents |
How to Calculate Your Deduction
To calculate your total deduction using the standard mileage rate method, you simply multiply the number of miles driven for a specific purpose by the applicable rate. Additionally, you can add the actual cost of parking fees and tolls directly to this amount.
For example, if you drove 1,000 miles for business in 2023:
- 1,000 miles × $0.655 = $655.00 deduction.
Standard Mileage vs. Actual Expenses
Taxpayers generally have the option to choose between the Standard Mileage Rate (using the calculator above) and the Actual Expense Method.
- Standard Mileage Rate: Simpler. Requires tracking miles, date, destination, and purpose. Covers gas, insurance, depreciation, and repairs.
- Actual Expense Method: Requires tracking every single car-related receipt (gas, lease payments, insurance, repairs, tires) and calculating the percentage of business use vs. personal use.
Record Keeping Requirements
The IRS requires timely and accurate records. You cannot estimate your mileage at the end of the year. To survive an audit, you should maintain a mileage log containing:
- The date of the trip.
- The starting point and destination.
- The business purpose of the trip.
- Total miles driven.
- Odometer readings (start and end of year).
