IRS just bumped the 2026 business mileage rate to 72.5 cents per mile—sounds nice, right? But get this: after inflation, it’s still way less than what drivers got back in 1971 (that’d be $1.05/mile today!). So yeah, you’ll see a little more on your tax return, but don’t expect a windfall. Charitable drivers? Still stuck at 14 cents a mile, same as forever. Anyone else feeling nostalgic for the ‘70s? #Transportation #IRS #MileageRate
