Choose the units that work for you: Miles or kilometers: (mph or km/h) BACKGROUND LOCATION Smart Mileage uses your location in the background, including when the app is closed or not in use, to automatically detect and measure drives. This functionality requires the “Always” location setting. Deduction amounts are estimates based on standard IRS mileage rates and are not tax advice. Confirm your figures with a tax professional before filing.
