NEW Mileage Rates
By
IRS has increased the standard mileage rates due to the rising gas prices. The rate for business miles driven from July 1- December 31, 2008 has increased to $0.585 a mile. The new rate for computing deductible medical or moving expenses has increased to $0.27 cents a mile. The rate for providing services for charitable organizations is set by statute, not the IRS and remains at $0.14 cents a mile.
You will need to separate your mileage for January-June 30, 2008 and July 1 – December 31, 2008 at tax time so that the correct rates are applied on your return.
We have a mileage log form available on our website at www.JFSMONEY.com. Please feel free to print off copies and keep in your vehicles so that you may log your mileage, as well as, the purspose and the dates. Please feel free to contact me or your tax professional for any questions. I can be reached at johnsonfinancialsvc@hotmail.com or 816-289-0476.

CWAHM.com is a dream that God has truly brought to life. I began CWAHM.com in 2000 while learning HTML. I thought it would be a fun hobby and a way to compile all the information I was seeking on working at home. I am a mom of 2 (1 boy, 1 girl), a wife and I do work from home. I accepted Christ as my savior at the age of seven as a Sparky in my church’s AWANA club. I have a Bachelor’s degree from Grace University in Human Development and Family Studies/Bible. I love working from home and I pray that CWAHM will be a blessing in your life as it has been in mine.
There is a exciting new business tool provided by http://www.MileageLogger.com that logs business miles automatically, no more pen and paper.
Yes there is TAXGURU. I even have the Mileage Logger posted as an affiliate on my website. I would like to see Mileage Logger download the information into financial software such as QuickBooks, Peachtree, etc. I’m sure someday it will soon in order to enhance the mileage tracking for its users.
Thanks for adding this point.
