[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Federal mileage reimbursement covers gas and car maintenance.

OP, before you go, remind them that you will submit mileage (some parents may decide to not have you go.  Write down the mileage when you turn the car on.  Write it down when you get back to their house.  Give them that number.  They should multiply it by $.575/mile and that’s the additional amount you get paid.  That amount is reimbursement, therefore not taxable (but may be included on a paystub as reimbursement).[/quote]

Thanks for great information 
What do you means Federal mileage reimbursement cover gas and car maintenance?

The federal mileage reimbursement is intended to reimburse the gas you use and wear/tear on your car.  You are required to keep a log.  I find that a small pocket calendar with two mileage numbers is sufficient (first is starting from family home, second is return to family home).  You can’t add in your commute to their home, so don’t try.  And if you don’t record the mileage, they are under no obligation to pay.

If you are making that trip every day, it will add up quickly.  Talk to the employer, as many prefer to provide a vehicle versus doing mileage every week.
