FAQ
Clear answers before you track a mile.
GigClaim is a practical driver tool for recordkeeping and planning. It is not a tax filing product or a substitute for professional guidance.
Is GigClaim tax advice?
No. GigClaim provides planning estimates and recordkeeping tools. It is not tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or a final filing determination.
Does GigClaim file my taxes?
No. GigClaim helps organize mileage, earnings, expenses, estimates, and reports. It does not file federal, state, or local tax returns.
Does Start Work guarantee perfect mileage tracking?
No. GPS can be affected by permissions, device settings, battery saver, weak signal, and interruptions. GigClaim flags weaker trips for review instead of hiding uncertainty.
Can I add missed trips manually?
Yes. Drivers can add missed trips and review them before relying on them for planning estimates or reports.
What does needs review mean?
It means the trip is saved, but the app wants the driver to confirm details before using it confidently for tax planning or reports.
What tax method does GigClaim support?
GigClaim supports planning estimates around the standard mileage method and actual vehicle expense method where enough information is available. It does not replace professional tax guidance.
Is GigClaim tax software?
GigClaim is practical driver software for mileage tracking, weekly review, earnings and expense logs, planning estimates, and record exports. It is not filing software.
What drivers is GigClaim built for?
GigClaim is built for U.S. 1099 rideshare and delivery drivers, including part-time drivers, full-time independent drivers, and multi-app drivers.
Can GigClaim separate work, commute, and personal miles?
GigClaim helps drivers classify trips as work, commute, personal, or review-needed so records are easier to inspect for tax preparation.
Can I track earnings and expenses?
Yes. GigClaim includes logs for driver earnings and expenses so mileage and money records live in one workflow.
Can I export my records?
Yes. GigClaim is designed to export trip, mileage, earnings, expenses, and review notes for tax preparation workflows.
Is my data stored locally?
The app is designed around local-first recordkeeping. Website waitlist and contact forms may store submitted information in Cloudflare-hosted form storage.
Can I delete or reset local app data?
GigClaim is designed to include local data export and local data delete/reset controls so drivers can manage their own records.
Should I show GigClaim exports to a tax professional?
That can be useful. GigClaim exports are meant to make your records more organized, but you are responsible for reviewing them and consulting a qualified tax professional for tax decisions.
