Is milage money paid for jury duty t taxable?

1,  My wife (Judith) served on Jury Duty in Taney County, Missouri and received $90.00 for mileage (gas money).  She is retired and therefore she does not have an employer to give money or to be paid by an employer.  SHOULD THIS COUNT AS TAXABLE INCOME?

Yes, jury duty pay/mileage is reportable taxable income.

I understand if you are paid for serving on a jury that should be taxable but to pay taxes on mileage does not make sense to me. When I served on jury duty in California several years ago I had to pay on the daily pay but not on the reimbursement  for mileage.

When I lived in California I had to pay tax on the daily pay and the mileage. Could be the law has changed since then.
