Understanding the 2022 IRS Mileage Rates
The year 2022 was unique because the IRS implemented a mid-year increase to the optional standard mileage rates in response to rising fuel costs. To calculate your total deduction accurately, you must separate your mileage records into two distinct periods.
2022 Mileage Rate Breakdown
| Purpose | Jan 1 – Jun 30 | Jul 1 – Dec 31 |
|---|---|---|
| Business | 58.5 cents | 62.5 cents |
| Medical/Moving | 18 cents | 22 cents |
| Charity | 14 cents | 14 cents |
Practical Examples
- Example 1 (Business): If you drove 1,000 business miles in March 2022, your reimbursement is 1,000 x $0.585 = $585.00.
- Example 2 (Business): If you drove 1,000 business miles in August 2022, your reimbursement is 1,000 x $0.625 = $625.00.
- Example 3 (Charity): If you drove 500 miles for a non-profit in December 2022, the rate remains 14 cents, totaling $70.00.
Record Keeping Requirements
To claim these deductions on your tax return, the IRS requires meticulous records. You should maintain a log that includes the date, the destination, the business purpose of the trip, and the starting and ending odometer readings.
