Plain-English guides for mobile notaries and loan signing agents.
A common way to estimate is to multiply your total business miles for the year by the IRS standard mileage rate that applies to that tax year. This estimator does that for you: it turns your signings and average round-trip miles into an annual mileage figure, then multiplies by the rate you enter. Always confirm the current-year rate on the IRS website and keep a contemporaneous mileage log to support any deduction you claim.
The IRS standard mileage rate is a per-mile figure the IRS publishes for computing the deductible costs of operating a vehicle for business. It changes from year to year, so this tool leaves the rate as an editable field instead of hard-coding a number. Enter the rate for the tax year you are estimating, which you can look up on the IRS standard mileage rates page.
Fees you earn as a mobile notary or loan signing agent are generally part of your self-employment income, and how they are treated can vary based on your situation and state. This tool estimates gross income for planning and record-keeping only. It is not tax advice. Talk to a qualified tax professional about how your specific fees, expenses, and any state-specific treatment of notarial-act fees apply to you.
The IRS generally expects a written record showing the date, business purpose, and miles of each trip, kept at or near the time of travel. A guess at year-end is far weaker than a running log. This estimator is a planning tool, not a substitute for a trip-by-trip log. Keeping a real mileage log throughout the year is what supports the number you eventually claim.
No. This is an educational estimate for record-keeping and planning purposes only. It does not account for your full tax situation, deduction limits, actual-expense methods, or state rules, and it is not a substitute for professional advice. Consult a qualified tax professional before making decisions based on these numbers.
