The IRS Mileage Reimbursement Rate has increased to $0.670/mile effective 01/01/2024. Any mileage reimbursement being submitted for travel before January 1, 2024, will be reimbursed at the old rate of $0.655/mile.
If you are submitting your requests electronically on Informed K-12 , the 2024 rate has been added so you will just need to click on the drop-down box and chose the appropriate rate.
New forms were approved prior to the start of this school year. If you have not started using the new forms, please do. Soon, any claim for expense submitted on the old form will be sent back, delaying the reimbursement process.
