The IRS has issued a mid-year change in the business mileage rate for 2026. From January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026, the business mileage rate was 72.5 cents per mile. Beginning July 1, 2026, the rate has increased to 76 cents per mile. This means you will need to carefully review the dates of any mileage reimbursements to yourself or your employees to ensure the correct rate is applied. In addition, if you claim vehicle expense as a sole proprietor, it is important to separate the business miles driven during the year so that the miles driven are correctly allocated when preparing your income tax returns.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please don’t hesitate to contact your accountant or bookkeeper and they will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
