IRS raises the 2026 business mileage rate to 76 cents from July 1
Citing higher fuel prices, the IRS raised the business standard mileage rate to 76 cents a mile for driving on or after July 1, 2026 (Announcement 2026-11, in the July 13, 2026 Internal Revenue Bulletin). Miles driven before July 1 stay at 72.5 cents, so a 2026 mileage log needs the two halves totaled separately. Medical and military moving miles rose to 23.5 cents, and charity miles stay at 14 cents. General information, not tax advice: check with a tax pro.
Your net on a $10 / $25 / $50 sale: n/a / n/a / n/a
A deduction rate, not a fee. 1,000 business miles driven July-December 2026 give a $760 deduction, $35 more than at 72.5 cents.
