IRS Increases Mileage Reimbursement Rates through December 31
The IRS mileage reimbursement rate, the rate typically used by nanny employers to reimburse their nanny for the business use of her personal automobile, is scheduled to increase July 1, 2008.
The rate will increase to 58.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven from July 1 through Dec. 31, said the IRS, which noted that 50.5 cents was the rate in effect for the first six months of 2008.
"Given the increase in (gasoline) prices, the IRS is adjusting the standard mileage rates to better reflect the real cost of operating an automobile. We want the reimbursement rate to be fair," IRS commissioner Doug Shulman said in a statement.
Many nannies use their personal automobiles to transport the children of their employers, either to preschool, lessons, or simply social engagements. These nannies may also run errands for their employers, such as grocery shopping or dry cleaning drop off/pick up. Families typically rely on the published IRS reimbursement rate to calculate the expense reimbursement to their nanny.
