As New Year's Day rolls around, it's time for you to recover and plan for 2019. One of the best things to do is to get the most out of your miles in 2019. That all starts with recording your odometer reading into MileIQ.  

Why Do I Need My Odometer Reading?

If you want to take the mileage deduction, you'll need detailed records of your drives. This includes recording your 2018 ending odometer reading and your 2019 starting reading (this should be the same number). You'll need this information when claiming your deduction on your Schedule C.
