MileIQ is an American-based technology company that develops a mileage tracking and logging app.[2] The app uses automatic mileage tracking to calculate mileage while driving for business purposes that can then be used to report for reimbursement and potentially a tax deduction with the IRS, being attributed as the first mobile app to passively track such data. MileIQ has been compared to Fitbit for driving[3] and has been discussed in national business publications that include Fast Company, Fortune, and Forbes.[4][5]
On November 5, 2015, Microsoft announced that it had acquired MileIQ for an undisclosed amount.[6]
On March 18, 2021, MileIQ service is transitioning to a new owner, MileIQ LLC, which is led by the original creators of the mileage tracking app. MileIQ LLC is unaffiliated with Microsoft Corporation and will start operating the app and the service after May 1, 2021.[citation needed]
