Getting Started with SmartMiles

SmartMiles tracks your driving automatically so you can claim mileage deductions at tax time without keeping a paper log.

How it works

1. Install the app on your iPhone or Android phone.
2. Sign in with your email or Google account.
3. Grant location permissions when prompted (the app needs "Always Allow" to track drives in the background).
4. Drive. SmartMiles detects when you start and stop driving and records each trip automatically.
5. Classify your trips as Business, Personal, Medical, Charity, or Moving.
6. Export a report when you need it for taxes or reimbursement.

First things to set up

After your first few trips are recorded, take a minute to configure these:

• Add your vehicles — Go to Settings > Vehicles and add the cars you drive. SmartMiles can auto-assign trips to vehicles using Bluetooth.
• Save your frequent locations — Name places like "Home" and "Office" so trip summaries are easier to read.
• Set up Work Hours — Tell SmartMiles your typical work schedule and it will auto-classify trips during those hours as Business.
• Create Frequent Trip Rules — After classifying a trip, you can save that route as a rule so future trips between the same locations are classified automatically.

What SmartMiles tracks

Each trip records:

• Start and end locations
• Start and end times
• Driving route (snapped to roads)
• Distance in miles
• Dollar value based on the current IRS mileage rate

SmartMiles does not track your location when you are not driving.
