Private IRS Mileage Tracker

iPhone
MileIQ raised to $8.99/mo. License to Deduct Pro is $2.99. Your GPS stays on your device. Try 20 trips free.
The only mileage tracker that keeps your GPS coordinates on your phone.
Every major mileage app sends your GPS data to their servers — your daily routes, client addresses, driving patterns. Then they charge $9/month to do it. License to Deduct is architecturally different.
IRS SMARTSYNC: PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE
Pro syncs only what the IRS requires for a valid mileage log: dates, distances, start/end addresses, and business purposes. Your GPS breadcrumb trail stays on your device. We don't receive it. We cannot access it. That's not a policy promise — it's an architectural fact.
No other mileage app offers this. MileIQ, Everlance, TripLog — all cloud-first, all storing your routes on their servers.
CLEAN APP STORE PRIVACY LABEL
Our privacy label shows zero cross-app tracking. Unlike some competitors, we never track users across apps or websites. Your driving data has one purpose: your deduction.
ON-DEVICE AI CLASSIFICATION
Our four-layer classification engine runs entirely on your iPhone using Core ML — no GPS sent to a server. Tag a location once and all future trips auto-classify. The system learns your patterns: day-of-week rhythms, round-trip logic, multi-stop trip chains. After ~30 trips, most drives classify silently. Weekly review takes two minutes.
No competitor offers on-device ML. MileIQ uses basic frequency matching. Ours is a trained model on your device.
IRS-COMPLIANT REPORTS, INSTANTLY
The IRS requires date, start/end locations, business purpose, and miles for every trip. License to Deduct captures all of it automatically. Generate your full-year PDF or CSV in one tap. Tax Season Mode guides year-end review and odometer reconciliation for audit-ready records.

YOUR DATA, YOUR RULES
Your GPS history reveals where you work, who your clients are, where you live. When a mileage app stores your GPS on their servers, that data exists — subject to breaches, acquisitions, and business model changes. With License to Deduct Pro, your GPS coordinates never reach our servers. There is nothing to breach.
Valley Technologies Group will never sell, share, or monetize your location data. You are the customer. Not the product.
