Suggestions on app for tracking expenses/miles?

Question

Hello, Does someone have any suggestions for an app/software for tracking expenses/miles for a rehab? Also if I purchase something to be used for the rehab from an individual, do I need to ask them for a receipt for tax purposes? Thank you.

Additional note on MileIQ:

It's been sometime since I tried it, but at that time it was very U.S.A. centric {not a problem for the OP} and not terrible useful for those of us elsewhere.  Now that the company has become part of the Micro$oft empire, perhaps the app has improved.

I use everlance. It is free and works just the way Eric F. describes mileIQ. If I'm not happy with the way a trip had been logged, I delete it and manually log it. I don't like having to classify every single trip i take when i drive but other than that..it is a great app.

Eric F. · Answer

I, along with several people I know, use MileIQ and love it. Basically it can automatically tell each time you drive and you can swipe one way for business and another for personal. You can have sub reasons to classify each drive for example meeting/temporary site/whatever. You can put your rehab site as a saved address to allocate miles to it. Under business -> purpose you can add each project and allocate miles to it. So if you drove from your office to Lowes you could still select "123 main street" to assign the miles to your rehab. You can also make notes about the drive but I never do this.

You can get weekly reports, monthly reports, reports for a specific date range, etc.

It has a few things I do not like which are probably easy to fix:

• If you stop to get gas sometimes it will break up your drive into 2 drives. I just found out you can merge these on their website but I do not think you can in the app.
• I think to delete a drive (example, riding in someone else's car) you have to go online. Usually I just mark these personal even if it was a business drive because if it isn't my car it isn't my miles.
• The app was crashing a decent amount over the last month but I think the most recent update fixed it for me.

It is $60 for a year but I would pay double that easily. Before I had MileIQ I would track my bigger drives but drives like "2 miles to Lowes and back to the rehab" would get ignored. Those add up to way more than $60 a year.

I have also used the logs to go back and see when I met with someone or did something. I can just open the spreadsheet, search for the address, and then see "I met the plumber there last Tuesday at 3pm."

Note: I don't work for MileIQ I just love it.
