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.
Recordkeeping
Organize records before making tax decisions
A mileage tracker can help you organize the date, distance, purpose, classification, and review status of driving records.
That does not mean every mile is deductible. Eligibility depends on your facts, current tax rules, and professional guidance.
- Work-session dates and times
- Trip distances and classifications
- Manual missed-trip entries
- Notes that explain why a trip was included or flagged
Planning
Use estimates carefully
GigClaim can help organize mileage, earnings, expenses, and planning estimates so drivers can review the numbers during the year.
Planning estimates are not final filing numbers and should not be treated as tax, legal, or accounting advice.
Exports
Export records for review
After reviewing trips and notes, export records when you choose. An organized export can make it easier to discuss your facts with a tax professional.
GigClaim does not file taxes and does not guarantee deductions, tax savings, refund amounts, or outcomes.
Review checklist
What to check before exporting
Trip classifications
Review whether each trip is work, commute, personal, or needs review. Do not assume every captured mile has the same tax treatment.
Common mistakes
Check late starts, forgotten stops, mixed personal errands, weak GPS, battery-saver gaps, and manual entries before relying on totals.
Export readiness
Confirm dates, distances, notes, expenses, earnings, and review-needed records before sharing an export with a tax professional or other trusted recipient.
Boundaries
Planning and tracking limits
