Note: Adding a refueling / charging is only necessary when using the Actual Expense Method. In the case of using the Standard Mileage Rate, you only need to log your arrival at the filling station (the trip itself), as you would with any other client / location.
If in the past you have refueled your vehicle at a filling station and you want that reflected in your Mileage log (miles driven to and from the filling station) but you don’t have or you do not want to add in the information that we ask for when recording a Refueling / Charging (Time, cost, quantity or Odometer reading of the Refueling / Charging) your best option is to record it as a Client / Location visit.
We would advise you to set that Client / Location visit to Passive in the Client-vehicle pairing menu.
It is especially useful if you plan to use the AI Wizard feature.
Pro tip: If you want to claim the miles you drove to and from a filling station as business miles, make sure that you record a Business Client visit before and after the filling station visit.
Also, when adding in the filling station as a Client / Location make sure the Trip purpose is set for Business.
To see how you can easily add new Clients / Locations please read this article.
