FreshBooks Introduces a New Mileage Tracking App for iOS Devices

By Ronald Smith

FreshBooks is excited to announce the release of their brand-new iOS app designed to help you keep track of your mileage. With this handy application, you can effortlessly track your mileage, organize your business trips, and even see if you’re eligible for tax deductions – all from the convenience of your phone.

This app is particularly useful for businesses that involve a lot of traveling. No more hassle with filling out logbooks, keeping gas station receipts, or trying to remember every work-related trip. FreshBooks has got you covered.

The FreshBooks Mileage Tracking App for iOS

Introducing the FreshBooks Mileage Tracking app, now available for both iPhone and iPad users. Say goodbye to the headache of managing expenses that come with client meetings and other business-related drives. Best of all, this app is accessible to FreshBooks customers in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

I’m really excited to let you know about the new Mileage Tracking feature we’ve added to FreshBooks. It’s a game-changer that makes it super easy for you to stay organized and get the most out of your tax deductions, shares Mike McDerment, the CEO and Co-founder of FreshBooks.

How it Works

With Mileage Tracking, you can use your mobile device to send invoices, keep track of expenses, and monitor your business travel costs. The best part is that you can do all of this right from the palm of your hand! Plus, you’ll get instant notifications when your clients receive or view your invoices.

But that’s not all—the application also comes with a chat function, so you can keep the conversation going with your clients. It even lets you digitize and store your receipts by simply taking pictures of them. And don’t worry about losing important documents—you’ll be able to sync everything seamlessly across your desktop and other devices.

So, here’s the deal. This awesome app I have allows you to automatically keep track of your mileage while you’re driving. Pretty cool, right? All you gotta do is open the app and set it up real quick. Once that’s done, it’ll know when you’re driving and start tracking your mileage automatically.

Now, here’s where it gets even better. With just a simple swipe, you can let the app know whether the mileage is for personal stuff or for business. And guess what? If it’s for business, the app will calculate how much you can deduct from your taxes. I mean, who doesn’t love saving some money, right?

And that’s not all. This app also comes with a mileage log report that syncs up with your FreshBooks account, which is basically where you keep all your financial stuff. So, all your deductible mileage is safely stored there. You can even download and share these mileage reports with your accountant, manager, or clients. Talk about being organized and on top of things!

But wait, there’s more. Whenever you want, you can check out a quick view and estimate of how much you can potentially deduct from your taxes. It’s like having a little money-saving buddy right in your pocket.

And when tax season comes around, this app has got your back. It’ll clearly show you all the deductions you can make from your business mileage. No more stress or confusion when it comes to taxes!

When it comes to taxes, I know how overwhelming it can be for businesses. It’s like trying to navigate a complicated maze! You have to stay on top of all the rules and regulations, and you need a good system to keep track of everything.

Now, if you’re a small business owner like me, you have even more tax responsibilities. It’s not just about paying your taxes at the end of the year – oh no! You have to pay estimated taxes throughout the year as you earn money. And let’s not forget about those pesky payroll taxes – you have to withhold that for your employees too.

But here’s the catch: if you don’t take care of your tax obligations, there can be serious consequences. And I’m not just talking about hefty penalties – you could even end up in jail! That’s why it’s so important to stay on top of your taxes and make sure you fulfill your duties.

But taxes aren’t just expenses, they also give back some money. Deductions and write-offs help your business get back some of the money it spent. It’s a legal way to lower the amount of money your business has to pay taxes on. Let me give you an example. If your business has a lot of miles to drive in a year, this is especially important for you. It’s a way for your business to get money back for the miles your employees drive while working. This also applies to medical and moving expenses.

To figure out how many miles were driven for business, you need two numbers. First, you need to know the total number of miles driven in a year. Then, you need to know how many of those miles were driven just for business purposes.

That’s why the FreshBooks app is so helpful. It does all those calculations for you, and keeps track of the information in real-time. So whenever you need it, it’s right there for you.

Availability

Mileage Tracking is now available. We’re also working on developing an android version of the app, so stay tuned for that.

Now, when it comes to mileage tracking, I have to give you a heads up. FreshBooks has a disclaimer: the app can only give you an estimate of your potential tax deduction. It’s the best guess it can make, but it can’t guarantee any official disbursement from the government.
