how is mileage reported from an employer
The standard mileage rate businesses use to deduct the cost of work-related driving expenses is set by the IRS on an annual or biannual basis. According to a 2012 report by The Wall Street Journal, most employees also use the standard mileage rate as a benchmark when reimbursing workers for their work-related mileage. The IRS hires an independent contractor to perform a study of the average fixed and variable costs of driving a vehicle.
