What is the mileage allowance for transportation to obtain medical care?
The standard mileage rate for use of an automobile to obtain medical care (as described in IRS Code Section 213) is $0.15/mile effective January 1, 2005. However, the Internal Revenue Service has issued IRS Announcement 2005-71 (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/a-05-71.pdf) which revises the standard mileage rate for services incurred for the remainder of 2005 tax year (September 1,2005 thru December 31,2005) under a health FSA, HRA, and HSA from $.15 to $.22/mile.
