Estimates based on the 2026 IRS business standard rate of $0.725/mile. Your actual deduction depends on your logged business miles.

The Real Cost

The miles your electricians drive don't track themselves

Job sites all over the map

A service upgrade across town, a panel swap on the other side of the county, then back for an estimate — a single electrical day is dozens of deductible miles nobody writes down.

Reconstructed logs don't hold up

A mileage log pieced together in April is exactly what the IRS questions. Contemporaneous, GPS-based records are the kind your accountant actually wants on file.

A second app to babysit

Standalone mileage apps mean another login and another bill — and miles that live nowhere near the electrical jobs and customers they belong to.

What if every dispatch logged its own miles — right alongside the job?

What You Get

Mileage tracking built for electrical shops

Every job site captured

Tracking starts when a tech marks a job site visit or inspection En Route and ends on Arrived. Every dispatch becomes a logged mile — no buttons, no forgetting.

Tied to the job & customer

Because the drive belongs to a dispatch, every mile is linked to the electrical job it served and the customer behind it — data a standalone tracker simply can't see.

IRS-ready records + year-end CSV

Date, business purpose, and miles for every trip — contemporaneous, GPS-based records you can export as a CSV when it's time to file.

Classify in a single tap

In the trip log, mark any drive business, commute, or personal with one tap. Fix a trip's type in seconds — that supply-house run stays a deduction.

Your service van, tagged

Each tech picks their vehicle type once — car, van, truck, box truck, motorcycle, or bicycle — and every trip is tagged to it.

Offline-first

Captures miles in basements, new-construction sites, and rural job sites. Trips sync the moment your technician is back online.

How It Works

From dispatch to deduction in three steps

Mark En Route

Your tech taps En Route when they head out to the job site. FSM Navigator starts logging the drive automatically — nothing to remember.

Arrive

Marking the job Arrived closes the trip. The miles are calculated on-device and linked to the job and its customer as a contemporaneous record.

Export your year-end records

At tax time, export a complete CSV — every trip, every vehicle, every technician — to hand straight to your accountant.

Every drive to an electrical job, captured and ready for tax time — without a single manual entry.

FAQ

Electrical mileage, answered

How does mileage tracking work for electricians?

Capture happens per job leg. When your electrician marks a job site visit or inspection En Route, FSM Navigator starts logging the drive automatically, and it closes when they mark the job Arrived. Every dispatch becomes a contemporaneous, GPS-based record linked to the job and its customer.

How much can an electrician deduct in mileage?

A busy electrician can drive between job sites, estimates, and inspections — roughly 16,000 business miles a year. At the 2026 IRS business standard rate of $0.725 per mile, that is an estimated deduction of about $11,600. Your actual deduction depends on your logged business miles.

Does it capture supply-house and parts runs?

Every on-duty drive tied to a job is captured automatically, and you can classify any trip in the trip log as business, commute, or personal with a single tap. The run to the supply house for a panel or wire is a business mile you should not lose.

Are the records IRS-ready for electrical businesses?

Yes. Trips are logged contemporaneously with the date, business purpose, and miles for each drive, and you can export your full year-end records as a CSV. FSM Navigator keeps the records; it does not file taxes or process reimbursement payouts on your behalf.

Does mileage tracking work offline at rural and new-construction sites?

Yes. Mileage tracking is offline-first. Drives are captured in dead zones, basements, new-construction sites, and rural job sites, then sync automatically the moment the technician is back online.

Which plans include mileage tracking?

Mileage tracking is available on the Pro and Enterprise plans. FSM Navigator is free for up to 5 users with no credit card required, so you can get your electrical team set up first and add mileage tracking when you upgrade.
