Beginning on Jan. 1, 2012, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be:
55.5 cents per mile for business miles driven

Does anyone remember how to change this in P3? I have looked and can't remember. I will probably learn that it is sooooo simple!

actually I looked it back up and it said the rate did not change. sorry!
 
That is the same rate as of July, yes. It didnt change for 2012.
 
So what should the rate be? I changed mine to the .555 and if that is not right, what do I need to change it back to?

Also, when do we get reimbursed for that? I did a show that was 171 total miles. Would I get reimbursed when I close the show or on my commission check?

You have the correct federal rate. And you wont get reimbursed by anyone. It is for claiming business mileage on your federal taxes when you take business deductions. PC doesnt pay anything for miles.
