P3 gives you the mileage rate so that you have an idea of how much you will be deducting on your taxes. The IRS doesn't care much about what P3 would calculate, because you'd enter your miles on your taxes, not the dollar amounts. I use TurboTax, and it knows the proper rates to put on my taxes, so I don't really worry about what P3 says the rate is.

The mileage rate for 2009 was actually $0.55 per mile for business use, $0.24 per mile for medical or moving purposes, and $0.14 per mile for charitable purposes. It is possible that the default rate in P3 is set at $0.49 per mile, but you should be able to manually change it to the correct rate for your specific use. If you are unable to change it, you may need to contact the software provider for assistance.

How do I calculate my mileage for reimbursement?
To calculate your mileage for reimbursement, you should track the total miles driven for business purposes. This includes trips to parties, meetings, and other business-related travel. You can use a mileage tracking app or a simple log to record your miles, noting the date, purpose of the trip, and starting and ending odometer readings.
