Expenses and Mileage

  • Log expenses by category as they happen (categories come from your trade and can be edited). Meals count at 50%.
  • Charge materials to a job to see that job's real profit.
  • Log business miles by trip. The deduction uses the right rate for each year.
  • Reports: income, expenses, profit and loss, spending by category, mileage deduction, and estimated taxable profit for the year (cash basis).
  • For your accountant: export everything as spreadsheets (CSV) by year from Reports or Backup & Settings.
  • Moonlighter is an organizing tool, not tax advice. Check with your tax professional.
