FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BizMile Reveals the Dirty Little Secret about a Business Mileage Log:
The IRS vs. Employers
San Francisco, Sept 30, 2011 - BizMile the fast and easy, award-winning online service for IRS car mileage deductions – releases its new & improved Company Mileage Edition for mileage reimbursement business needs.
This release of BizMile offers a travel time calculation for employees using their personal cars to go to business appointments. Also included is the flexibility of using a custom mileage rate. Leveraging the BizMile methods for ease-of-use and speed, employers may now expect an 80% reduction in the non-billable staff time previously needed to complete these expense reports.
Mileage log “Guess-timating” secrets are significant to bottom line
“It’s no secret that most business owners or their staff have guesstimated a mileage log, ” stated E. Elizabeth Hager, CCO of BizMile. “Keeping a written mileage log is a time-consuming hassle.”
Guess-timating is always a risk. People don’t want to anger the IRS gorilla; so when guessing against the IRS for taxes, they guess low.
“Our tax customers found, after using BizMile for deductions, that they were leaving a lot of money on the table – and they had been for years. That’s the first sad little secret”.
“The other little secret concerns employers and is quite the opposite.” Continued Ms. Hager. “When employees ‘guess-timate’ they leave themselves a ‘tip’ for their reimbursed, expense report mileage. Have you heard the expression ‘If you can’t sell, drive like hell? – It’s by someone named anonymous.”
When employers initiate an audit-quality solution for reimbursed mileage – they save between 15% to 25% in the first month in payouts. This is literally thousands of dollars every month in savings.
This bottom line is significant.
Award-winning mileage savings – easy even for non-technical employees

Leveraging those same easy-to-use tools, the Company Mileage Edition has little to no learning curve even for the non-technical staff; employees actually like using BizMile because it relieves their record-keeping burden.
