Mileage and expenses in one app โ€” not two

Track Every Deductible Mile and Receipt

Most gig workers use one app for mileage and another for receipts โ€” then struggle to combine everything at tax time. SparkReceipt brings mileage and expense tracking together in a single app. Every gas receipt, oil change, car wash, and parking charge is captured alongside your mileage logs, giving you one complete record of your driving costs.

Track expenses across every platform you work on

One App for Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and More

Many gig workers drive for multiple platforms in the same week โ€” or even the same day. SparkReceipt lets you organize expenses across all your gig work without switching between apps. Tag receipts by platform, track costs per vehicle, and see exactly how much each gig is costing you in real time.

How It Works for Gig Workers

1

Capture Receipts Between Rides and Deliveries

Snap a photo of any gas station receipt, parking ticket, or car wash bill right from the driver's seat. SparkReceipt's AI extracts the vendor, amount, date, and category in seconds โ€” even from crumpled or faded receipts.

2

AI Categorizes Your Gig Expenses Automatically

Every receipt is automatically sorted into tax-relevant categories โ€” fuel, vehicle maintenance, parking, tolls, phone, supplies. No manual data entry, no spreadsheets, no guessing which category to use.

3

Generate Tax-Ready Reports for Your Accountant

One click generates a complete expense report with totals, category breakdowns, and attached receipt images. Export to PDF, Excel, or CSV. Share with your accountant or use it to file your own Schedule C.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rideshare drivers can deduct mileage (76ยข per mile from July 1, 2026; 72.5ยข before), gas, vehicle maintenance, car washes, parking fees, tolls, phone bills (business portion), supplies like phone mounts and chargers, and health insurance premiums if self-employed. SparkReceipt helps you capture and categorize all of them.

Yes. SparkReceipt combines mileage tracking and receipt scanning in a single app. You get one complete record of all your driving costs โ€” mileage logs alongside fuel receipts, maintenance bills, and every other vehicle expense.

No. If you claim the IRS standard mileage rate (76ยข per mile from July 1, 2026; 72.5ยข before), you cannot also deduct gas, oil, insurance, or repairs separately โ€” those costs are already included in the rate. However, you can still deduct parking fees and tolls on top of the mileage rate. SparkReceipt helps you track both so you can choose whichever method saves you more.

Yes. Whether you drive for Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, Grubhub, or any other platform, SparkReceipt tracks all your expenses in one place. Tag receipts by platform to see exactly how much each gig costs you.

Start now โ€” any mileage and expenses you track going forward are still deductible. SparkReceipt makes it easy to begin capturing receipts and mileage immediately, so you don't lose another day of deductions.

Yes. You can invite your accountant or bookkeeper to your SparkReceipt account. They get full access to your organized, categorized receipts and can generate or export reports directly โ€” no more handing over bags of paper receipts.

Doing it by hand

Shoebox + spreadsheet

  • 60+ hours a year

    Flattening, reading and typing each receipt into a spreadsheet, filing the paper, matching it to the bank statement, and hunting for the ones that went missing.

  • $1,000+ for the cleanup

    What a bookkeeper charges to turn a year of shoebox records into books a return can be filed from, before the return itself.

  • Deductions you can't prove

    A faded thermal receipt or a lost email is an expense you pay for twice: once at the counter, once at tax time.
