Use this checklist to organize mileage, expense, earnings, and export records before tax time. GigClaim helps with planning estimates and recordkeeping, while your tax questions should be reviewed with a qualified tax professional.

Mileage records

Mileage records

Trip details

Confirm work-session dates, trip distances, and route notes where needed.

Classifications

Review work, commute, personal, and review-needed classifications.

Missed records

Mark manual or missed trips clearly so they can be reviewed.

Expense records

Expense records

Expense records should be specific enough to review later: date, amount, category, platform or work context, and notes where helpful. Avoid guessing after the fact when a record can be captured closer to the work.

GigClaim helps organize expenses for review. It does not decide tax treatment or guarantee that any expense will be accepted in a tax workflow.

Earnings records

Earnings records

Platform earnings

Record earnings across apps so the full gig-work picture is easier to review.

Weekly review

Review earnings alongside mileage and expenses before exporting summaries.

Export reports

Export reports

Exports should come after review. Confirm mileage classifications, expense categories, earnings records, and notes, then create reports only when you choose.

GigClaim is built around local-first records: in-app mileage, trip, expense, earnings, and tax-planning records stay on the phone until you export.
