How TRUE Driver Profit fits in

Every category above exists on the Expenses tab, and recurring bills can be set up as monthly fixed costs. Logging them keeps your profit numbers real and leaves you with organized records.

Important limits

Which costs are deductible, and how, depends on your circumstances and on the method you use for vehicle costs. TRUE Driver Profit tracks what you spend — it does not decide what is deductible.

Consistency is what makes records useful. Log costs the same way every week.
