Lawzilla's legal discussion about IRS Mileage is covered in more detail in our page about California Auto Mileage Expense Reimbursement.

In short, the IRS each year creates a mileage reimbursement schedule that can be used by employers to set the amount reimbursed to employees for work related use of their vehices.
