How the estimate is built

Spending by category

Quarter by quarter

Estimated tax is the part that hurts, and it hurts four times a year. Federal due dates are April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15 of the following year (next business day if that lands on a weekend or holiday).

What this tool cannot do: it does not run in the background and it does not detect drives from your phone's GPS. Nothing in a plain web page can. You type the trip, or you write odometer readings on a card in the truck and enter them at night. In exchange there is no subscription, no account, and no app quietly following you around.

Your vehicles

One row per truck or van. Trips are tagged to a vehicle so business-use percentage and the standard-versus-actual comparison come out right for each one.

Business-use percentage

The first number an auditor asks for. Business miles come from your log. Total miles come from your odometer on January 1 and December 31 — or type the total straight in. Schedule C, Part IV asks for exactly these figures.

Standard mileage vs actual expenses

Two ways to deduct a vehicle, and you pick one per vehicle per year. Standard mileage multiplies business miles by the IRS rate. Actual expenses adds up what the truck really cost and deducts the business-use share. Fill in what you spent and the bigger number wins.

Ask your tax pro for this figure.

The first-year rule, because it traps people. If you want the option to switch between the two methods later, you have to use the standard mileage rate in the first year you put the vehicle in service. Take actual expenses that first year — especially with accelerated depreciation or a Section 179 write-off — and you are locked into actual expenses for that vehicle for as long as you own it. On a leased vehicle, whichever method you choose in year one has to be used for the entire lease. Parking and tolls on business trips are deductible under either method, so keep logging those as expenses. Confirm all of it with your tax pro before you file.
