IRS business mileage rate decreased for 2020

If you're paying business mileage for a supply preacher, employee, or anyone else, please note the decrease set by the IRS for 2020.

From the IRS website:

The Internal Revenue Service recently issued the 2020 optional standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.

Beginning on January 1, 2020, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be:

• 57.5 cents per mile driven for business use, down one half of a cent from the rate for 2019,

• 17 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes, down three cents from the rate for 2019, and

• 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations.

The business mileage rate decreased one half of a cent for business travel driven and three cents for medical and certain moving expense from the rates for 2019. The charitable rate is set by statute and remains unchanged.
