The IRS announced the 2019 standard mileage rates. The optional mileage allowance for owned or leased vehicles (including autos, vans or pickups) will rise 3.5 cents to 58 cents per mile for business travel. Employers can also use the rate to reimburse employees who supply their own autos for business use and to value personal use of certain low-cost employer-provided vehicles. The rates for medical purposes will rise 2 cents to 20 cents per mile and the rate for driving in service of charitable organizations will remain 14 cents per mile. (Notice 2019-2)
