In recognition of recent gasoline price increases, the IRS made this special adjustment for the final months of 2011. The IRS normally updates the mileage rates once a year in the fall for the next calendar year.  While gasoline is a significant factor in the mileage figure, other items enter into the calculation of mileage rates, such as depreciation and insurance and other fixed and variable costs. The optional business standard mileage rate is used to compute the deductible costs of operating an automobi

Tazewell County Genealogical & Historical Society July 12th Meeting

Greg Laun will be presenting an 1820-1860 history of the the Springfield to Peoria Stagecoach Road which passed through Tazewell, Logan, Menard and Sangamon Counties.  The road became a major artery for passenger & mail service as well as enabling trade & commerce that encouraged the establishment of early settlements along the route.
