Export records guide
How to export mileage records for a tax professional
A useful export starts before you share a file. Review mileage, trips, expenses, earnings, and notes first so the records you hand to a tax professional are organized and easy to question.

Inside GigClaim
Review records before export
GigClaim is built around reviewable records: track the work session, inspect trips, add missed entries or notes when needed, then export only after the record makes sense.
That workflow is useful for busy delivery and rideshare days where personal errands, weak GPS, parking, tolls, or route changes can make a raw mileage total hard to trust without review.
Quick answer
What to do first
- Review the records before exporting. The export should not be the first time you inspect the year.
- Keep uncertain trips marked with notes or review status.
- Export only the date range and details needed for the recipient.
- Protect exported files like sensitive financial records.
Driver scenarios
Common situations to review
Use these examples as review prompts, not tax conclusions. Your facts still matter.
Sending records to a tax professional
A cleaner export includes reviewed trips, dates, distances, expenses, earnings, and notes that explain unusual records.
Fixing weak GPS before export
If a route looks wrong or incomplete, add a factual note or manual correction before sharing the file.
Sharing only what is needed
Exports can show where and when you worked. Limit the date range and recipient to the actual review need.
Before export
Review records before sharing them
Exports are most useful when the underlying records have already been reviewed. Check the dates, distances, classifications, notes, and any review-needed trips before sending files outside your phone.
If a trip looks uncertain, keep the uncertainty visible. A factual note is better than silently treating a weak record as final.
- Confirm the date range and tax year you intend to export
- Review work, commute, personal, and review-needed trip classifications
- Check missed-trip entries and manual corrections
- Compare mileage records with expenses and earnings you choose to track
What to include
Keep exports useful and limited
A tax professional usually needs clear records, not extra noise. Export the mileage, trip, expense, earnings, and note details that help explain the period you are reviewing.
Do not send sensitive driver records through support unless GigClaim specifically requests them and they are necessary for the support issue.
- Mileage and trip summaries after review
- Expense and earnings records you choose to track
- Notes for unusual workdays, weak GPS, or corrected records
- The date range, platform workflow, and export purpose
Privacy
Share exports only with trusted recipients
Export files can contain sensitive driver records, including where you drove, when you worked, what you earned, and what expenses you logged.
GigClaim is designed so in-app driver records stay on your phone until you choose to export. Once you share an export, protect it like other sensitive financial records.
Review checklist
What to check before exporting
Date range
Confirm the export covers the intended week, month, quarter, or tax year and excludes unrelated records.
Review status
Check classifications, missed trips, manual corrections, and review-needed records before sharing.
Sensitive details
Protect export files because they can contain routes, schedules, income context, expenses, and notes.
Common mistakes
Mistakes that make records harder to trust
Exporting unreviewed trips
If trips still need review, the export may create more questions than answers.
Sending too much private data
Do not send full trip histories, tax documents, or private driver records unless they are necessary.
Forgetting notes
Brief notes can explain manual entries, interruptions, unusual waits, or corrected records.
Ignoring the recipient
A file for your own review may differ from what a tax professional or other trusted recipient needs.
Boundaries
Planning and tracking limits
FAQ
Questions drivers ask
Does exporting records mean GigClaim files my taxes?
No. GigClaim helps organize driver records and planning estimates. It does not file taxes and does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice.
Should I send full trip histories through support?
No, not unless GigClaim specifically requests them and they are necessary for the support issue. Exports can contain private driver records.
Can a tax professional decide what is deductible?
A qualified tax professional can help you apply tax rules to your facts. GigClaim keeps records organized for review, but it does not decide tax treatment.
