How TruMile works
Three steps. Auto-detect every drive. Classify with one tap. Export an IRS-ready report at year end.
Auto-detect
TruMile runs in the background and recognizes when you start a drive. No tap required, no Bluetooth pairing required, no cumulative GPS-on-all-day battery drain. The detection uses Apple's lowest-power location APIs and only escalates to high accuracy during a confirmed drive.
Classify
When a trip ends, TruMile decides whether it was business or personal using a three-tier cascade: an on-device ML model (Pro), saved routes, and pattern learning over repeat drives. Anything ambiguous goes to one-tap manual review. You can override any classification at any time.
Report
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. Multi-jurisdiction support means the right rate is applied based on your country setting.
What TruMile actually catches
Most platform tax summaries (Uber, DoorDash, Lyft) only count miles when a passenger or order is in the vehicle. The IRS lets you deduct deadhead miles, period 1 (online and waiting), and any other business drive too. TruMile catches all of those. Most full-time gig drivers see 30 to 50 percent more deductible mileage than their platform summary shows.
For self-employed workers in trades, sales, and services, TruMile auto-detects the trips you would have remembered to log AND the ones you would have forgotten. The forgotten ones are usually where most of the missed deduction lives.
