Mileage Tracking

Every sourcing mile is a tax deduction. Are you counting them?

The IRS standard mileage rate was 67 cents per mile in 2024. On 4,000 miles of sourcing trips and post office runs, that's $2,680 off your taxable income. Profit Hawk logs every trip and does the math.

  • Log trips manually or auto-detect from your phone
  • Current IRS standard rate applied automatically — updated each year
  • Mileage log exports ready for Schedule C and your CPA

Resellers drive. The IRS rewards you for it — if you track it.

Every trip to a thrift store, estate sale, flea market, post office, UPS store, or storage unit is a deductible business mile. Most resellers track zero of them. Profit Hawk makes it frictionless: log a trip with a tap, or let the app detect your drive. At the end of the year, you get a complete IRS-compliant mileage log — destination, purpose, miles, and the dollar deduction. Hand it to your CPA with your tax pack.

Log a trip in five seconds.

Tap New Trip. Enter start point, end point, purpose, and miles — or just the miles. Profit Hawk fills in the date and calculates the deduction at the current IRS rate. Done. No GPS required, no app running in the background if you don't want it.

Mileage ties into your lot COGS.

Log a sourcing trip as a lot expense and the mileage cost allocates across every item in that lot. The deduction shows up twice: in your mileage log for Schedule C and in your lot COGS for profit-per-item accuracy. One trip entry, two places it matters.

IRS-compliant log exported automatically.

Your mileage log needs: date, destination, business purpose, miles driven. Profit Hawk generates this automatically at year-end — or any time you want it. It's part of your Tax Pack, or export it separately as a PDF or CSV. Your CPA will stop asking you for it.

Mileage questions.

No. Manual entry works fine — the IRS just requires a contemporaneous log with date, destination, purpose, and miles. Profit Hawk stores all four.
Only log business trips. You can't deduct personal miles, and Profit Hawk doesn't mix them. Log only trips with a clear business purpose.
Yes. The standard mileage rate updates automatically on January 1. Your prior-year trips retain the rate that was in effect when you logged them.
Yes. When creating a lot, add the sourcing trip miles and they're allocated across every item in the lot as part of the cost basis.
