Article summary

Keep track of your work-related drives to maximize your tax return. You can add drives manually or have the Easy Expense app track your drive using GPS Auto Tracking.

When tax season arrives, you can export your drives to make it easy to organize your mileage for the year.


Auto Tracking

Auto Tracking allows for more accurate monitoring by using GPS tracking to log the route you actually take, including detours and pit stops.

To Enable Auto Tracking

  1. Tap the "Drives" tab
  2. Toggle "Enable Auto Tracking"

  3. Change the app's location permission to "Always"
  4. Start driving

Reviewing Auto Track Drives

With Auto Track enabled, the Easy Expense app will detect when you start driving and automatically log your drives. These drives are not immediately added to your "Drives" tab. Instead they are stored for you to review at your convenience, much like transactions from synced bank accounts or synced emails.

To Review Your Drives

  1. Tap the "Drives" tab
  2. Tap "New Drives"

  8. Tap "Export"

Exporting Expense Reports
