Clean records for tax time

If you use your aircraft for business — whether occasionally or regularly — the IRS requires clear documentation of each flight's purpose. AircraftMX makes this effortless by integrating business-use categorization directly into your flight logging workflow, so record-keeping happens as you fly, not as a frantic exercise in April.

Every flight in AircraftMX carries a flight type: personal, business, instruction, rental, maintenance, ferry, or other. Tag flights as you log them, and AircraftMX automatically maintains a categorized history that separates business use from personal use. No spreadsheets, no after-the-fact guessing about whether that trip to Oshkosh was business or pleasure.

Passenger tracking adds another layer of documentation. Record passenger names and the purpose of each passenger's presence on each flight — details that support business-use deductions and demonstrate compliance with operating rules. For flight instruction or rental operations, passenger records provide clear documentation of who was on board and why.

When tax season arrives or when your accountant asks for aircraft usage records, the data is already organized. Filter your flight log by type to see all business flights, review passenger records, and export the information you need. Combined with the expenses feature, you have a comprehensive financial picture of your aircraft operations without maintaining parallel record-keeping systems.

Business-use tracking isn't a separate module to manage — it's built into the way you already log flights. That integration means the data stays accurate and current, because you're not asking yourself to do extra work. You're just answering one additional question each time you log a flight: what was this trip for?
