I thought I'd driven maybe 800 miles for work all year. The Timeline match put it at almost 4,000. That's not a rounding error, that's a different tax bill.
LIVE · Deadline April 15
Somewhere on your dashboard, a meter is still running for miles you never logged.
Upload your Uber, DoorDash, or Instacart earnings and your Google Maps history. MilesRescue reads both instruments at once and reconstructs a trip-by-trip mileage log before your return is due.

The instrument reading
Two dashboards. One of them costs you thousands.
This is the actual difference between rebuilding a mileage log by hand this weekend, and letting two files do the cross-referencing for you.

Three steps to a finished log
STEP 01
Upload your files
Drag in Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, Lyft, or Amazon Flex earnings statements, plus your Google Maps Timeline export if you've got it. CSV, JSON, or KML — all accepted.
STEP 02
Let it reconstruct
MilesRescue matches your worked dates to driving segments and drafts a trip-by-trip log. No Timeline data? We estimate instead, and label it plainly — no hidden guesswork.
STEP 03
Review & export
Edit any row in a plain table, mark it reviewed, then download an IRS-formatted PDF and CSV ready to hand your preparer.

What drivers saw once the meter ran
My phone history got cleared months ago. The estimated log was still labeled honestly enough that my preparer was comfortable using it as-is.
Start to finish, including fixing three trips that looked off before I exported. Way better than the weekend I'd budgeted for it.

Questions worth asking before you export
Will the IRS accept a mileage log I reconstruct after the fact?
The IRS requires records that are "adequate and made at or near the time" of the expense, but reconstructed logs based on real supporting evidence (like location history and earnings records) are a widely used and accepted practice when contemporaneous logs weren't kept. MilesRescue clearly labels which trips are matched to your location history versus estimated, so you and your preparer can see exactly what's backed by what. This isn't tax or legal advice — always confirm with your tax preparer.
What if I don't have a Google Maps Timeline export?
You can still use MilesRescue. Without Timeline data, we generate an estimated log distributed across the days you show earnings activity, and every estimated trip is clearly labeled as such so you know exactly what you're handing your preparer.
Which platforms are supported?
Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, and Amazon Flex earnings exports are supported today, plus a generic CSV option for any other platform's statement format.
What tax years can I use this for?
You can create a log for any tax year from 2022 through 2026. MilesRescue automatically applies the correct IRS standard mileage rate for the year you select.
What happens to my uploaded data?
Your files are used only to reconstruct your mileage log. You can delete any uploaded file, or your entire log and all its data, at any time from within the app.
Is this actually free?
Signing up, uploading statements, and rebuilding your complete trip log are free — no credit card required. The IRS-formatted export your preparer accepts is a one-time $49 unlock. Your PDF and spreadsheet.
Turn the key before the meter hits April 15.
Upload what you already have. MilesRescue rebuilds the log, you review it, and you walk away with a PDF and spreadsheet your preparer can actually use.
