Since Docketly has a record of all the appearances you made in the course of a year, we can generate an estimated annual mileage total that you can use as a basis for your tax deductions.
Here is the link to the information:
This report is also available under “Insights” from your home page sidebar.
Some caveats:
1. This is our first attempt at this so use it as a guide.
2. We rely on our friends at Google Maps to tell us how far apart things are based on the shortest route.
3. We used your office address we have on file. If that’s a PO Box, then we assume you drove from the post office.
4. We assume that you drive from the office to court and back for each bundle of appearances. You will see a “+” next to hearing locators where there was a bundle.
You can download a CSV version of the data from the link above. This is easily imported into Microsoft Excel. From there, you can delete, edit, and add to quickly generate totals if there is something that needs tweaking.
