How TruMile helps
TruMile auto-detects every drive using motion plus location, so the trips above get logged whether you remember them or not. Smart classification learns your repeat routes (between regular client homes, between job sites, to your supply store) and starts tagging them automatically after a few trips.
At year-end, one tap turns your trip log into an IRS-compliant CSV or PDF you can hand to your accountant or paste into Schedule C. The math is already done.
Free for 40 auto trips a month, every month. If you are anywhere near the high end of the typical mileage range, the unlimited Pro tier at $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year usually pays for itself in the first week of tax season.
FAQ for Amazon Flex drivers
Does Amazon Flex give me a mileage report at year-end?
Amazon provides a 1099 with earnings but does not provide a mileage log. You are responsible for tracking and documenting your business miles.
Are the miles inside the delivery route deductible?
Yes. Every mile from the time you start the block to the time you return to the station is business mileage, including the small drives between stops.
What if I do Flex blocks for two different stations?
Drives between Amazon stations during your driving day are business miles. The drive from your home to the first station is deductible if your home is your principal place of business for the Flex work.
