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.

Workflow

Track the work period, not just individual orders

Delivery app work can move quickly. Start tracking when your delivery work starts, then review the full session later so the record makes sense as a workday.

Trips around restaurant pickups, drop-offs, waiting areas, and repositioning should be checked before export, especially when personal driving happens nearby.

  • Start and stop work sessions intentionally
  • Review stacked orders and long waits
  • Add missed records when tracking starts late
  • Keep notes factual and short

Money records

Review mileage beside expenses and earnings

Mileage records are easier to understand when you can review them beside earnings and driver expenses you choose to log.

GigClaim can help organize those records locally on your phone, then export them when you choose.

  • Delivery earnings and tips you choose to record
  • Parking, tolls, insulated bags, or delivery supplies if you track them
  • Trip notes for corrected or unusual delivery days

Tax boundary

Use records for planning, not as tax advice

A mileage tracker can help you organize a record. It cannot decide tax treatment for you.

Use exports for your own review or to discuss with a qualified tax professional. GigClaim does not file taxes.

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
