The mileage app tracks the miles.Who tracks the rest?
Meet Tunde, who drives rideshare Friday nights and delivery Saturday days. His mileage app runs faithfully — and everything it can't see used to leak. Here's one Saturday, sealed.
The setup — an illustrative scenario, not a customer reviewTunde learned the two-bucket rule the expensive way: the mileage rate covers the car, but the gear, tolls, parking, and phone that make gig work possible are deductible on top — with receipts. His mileage app keeps running; Receni catches everything it ignores.

New insulated bag
The old delivery bag's zipper died mid-shift last week. Replacement scanned in the store line — gear is deductible regardless of which vehicle method his preparer picks.

Downtown garage, kept
A lunch-rush delivery cluster means paid parking. The garage ticket scans from the driver's seat — parking stacks on top of the mileage rate, but only with proof.

The car wash question
Passengers rate clean cars; Saturday's wash gets scanned either way. Which bucket it lands in depends on his deduction method — recorded, it's his preparer's call; unrecorded, it's nothing.

Shift end, records done
Cash toll from the night's last airport run goes in as a manual entry in the driveway. The mileage app has the miles; Receni has everything else. Both apps sleep.
What changed
The shift, in Tunde's scenario
The second bucket stopped leaking
Gear, parking, tolls, and phone costs — deductible beyond the mileage rate — finally have receipts behind them.
Tax season takes two exports
The mileage log from one app, the categorized expense CSV from Receni — his preparer gets both halves of gig taxes.
Method questions became easy
With everything recorded, standard-mileage-versus-actual is a math problem for the preparer, not a records problem for Tunde.
The features doing the work
