About automilez

automilez helps you grab the money left on your income tax kitchen table

In our current economic climate consumers need to employ every opportunity to save money and reduce taxes. With tax increases undoubtedly in our future, consumers should look to every asset available to drive their overall savings.

automilez simply, easily, and effectively captures your tax-saving mileage deductions

Using your automobile for business, medical appointments, charitable work, and even personal moving can accumulate significant tax deductions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows deductions across four primary categories: Business ($0.555/mile), Medical and Moving ($0.235/mile), and Charitable ($0.14/mile). The IRS requires taxpayers to keep accurate log records and documentation with their mileage deductions on their federal income tax.

automilez automatically generates individual mileage logs after each trip, providing mileage substantiation for your year-end tax deductions

For more information on mileage deduction guidelines, please see the
2011 Federal IRS Mileage Deduction Guidelines.

How does automilez for iPhone work?

automilez is a simple application that leverages smartphone technology to capture and log mileage for Federal IRS tax deductions and other purposes. automilez uses a combination of smartphone GPS, wi-fi, cell tower triangulation, and our proprietary technology to immediately track and log trip mileage.

The automilez logic engine calculates distance using three primary approaches: trigonometry, great-circle distance, and road mapping. automilez calculates mileage totals by intelligently combining and calculating the results from these three approaches, giving you the most accurate trip mileage possible.
