Amazon Flex Mileage Deduction Calculator (2026)

How the Amazon Flex mileage deduction is calculated

Multiply eligible Jan 1–Jun 30 miles by $0.725 and Jul 1–Dec 31 miles by $0.76, then add the two amounts. Eligible business tolls and parking are added separately, without multiplying them by either rate.

The IRS standard mileage rates list 72.5¢ for Jan–Jun 2026 (IR-2025-128) and 76¢ for Jul–Dec 2026 (IR-2026-29). The 2025 business rate was 70¢. See our IRS mileage rate 2026 guide. The result is a deduction estimate; it does not estimate tax savings.

Which Flex miles you can deduct

Eligible business miles during a delivery block generally include driving from the station to deliver packages, between delivery stops or stations for work, and back to the station to return undelivered packages. Record the business purpose and exclude personal detours.

Driving from home to the delivery station is often commuting, which is generally personal and not deductible. A qualifying home office or temporary work location may affect the treatment. Consult a tax professional about your circumstances and review IRS Publication 463. These are general tax principles, not a statement of Amazon policy.

Does Amazon Flex give you a mileage summary?

Third-party driver guides from Solo and SmartMiles describe the Flex app as not providing a tax-ready mileage log or usable annual deduction summary. This is guidance from those publishers, not an official Amazon statement. Route estimates are not a substitute for your actual business-mileage records.

Keep your own dated Amazon Flex mileage tracker or log, including eligible return trips, and split the miles at July 1. Follow the recordkeeping requirements in IRS Publication 463.

Amazon Flex vs DoorDash vs Uber

The same IRS standard business-mileage rules apply to eligible Amazon Flex, DoorDash and Uber miles. Package delivery, food delivery and passenger trips do not receive different rates simply because the platform differs.

If you work across platforms, count each business mile only once and reconcile overlapping records. See the DoorDash mileage calculator, main mileage reimbursement calculator and 2026 IRS rate guide.

Standard mileage vs actual expenses

Choose a permitted method for each vehicle: standard mileage uses eligible miles and the applicable rate; actual expenses allocate eligible vehicle costs to business use. Do not add gas, repairs, insurance or depreciation on top of standard mileage when the rate already covers them. Eligible business parking and tolls can be separate.

Method elections and switching restrictions matter, including first-year rules for owned cars and lease rules. Review IRS business-use-of-car guidance for your vehicle before choosing. This calculator does not compare which method gives you a larger deduction.

What a mileage log needs

Record the date, miles and business purpose of each trip, plus start and end locations. Odometer readings help support distance and annual business versus personal use. Keep receipts for separately claimed tolls and parking.

Download the CSV mileage log template. Use the main mileage reimbursement calculator to log multiple trips and their dates.

Where it goes: Schedule C

Self-employed drivers generally report eligible vehicle expenses on Schedule C under car and truck expenses. Follow the current vehicle-information instructions and retain your mileage log and supporting records. Do not claim the same expense twice.
