Sorry, i'm probably confused. I mentioned they are provided an car allowance, not a mileage allowance. are they they same?
People are not always precise in their terminology here, so we don't make such fine distinctions. "Car allowance" and "mileage allowance" might or might not mean the same thing. The question is whether the allowance that you get from your employer, whatever you call it, depends on the number of miles that you drive for work. If it does, then obviously you have to keep track of your mileage and report it to your employer. If the allowance does not depend on the mileage, then there is no need to track your mileage. However, the state tax consideration that I discussed in my earlier reply above might still apply.
