- make sure that the business is approved by a staff member
- keep track of your mileage
- have someone at the Front Desk fill out a reimbursement slip for you
- remember to record the date, the number of miles, the purpose of the trip, who drove.
The current IRS approved rate is $0.485 (48.5 cents) per mile.
