Business Mileage Deduction Log FAQ's

Why do I need a mileage log instead of just estimating at tax time?

The IRS wants contemporaneous records — logged at or near the time of the trip, not reconstructed months later from memory. A dated log with odometer readings and a stated business purpose is exactly what an auditor expects to see, and it's the difference between a deduction that holds up and one that gets tossed.

What counts as business mileage for a wireless dealer or repair shop?

Driving to a customer's home or business for an install or repair, runs to pick up inventory or parts, bank deposits, trips between your own store locations, and visits to your master agent or carrier rep all typically qualify. Your daily commute from home to your primary shop generally does not — verify the rules with your tax professional since home-office status can change this.

Should I use the standard mileage rate or track actual vehicle expenses instead?

This log uses the standard mileage rate method (miles × the IRS rate), which is simpler and what most independent dealers use for a personal or lightly-used business vehicle. If you run a dedicated work van with heavy repair/lease costs, the actual-expense method might deduct more — run both ways with your tax pro before deciding.

Where do I find the current IRS mileage rate to enter?

The IRS publishes and updates the standard mileage rate annually (and occasionally mid-year) at irs.gov. This tool intentionally does not pre-fill a rate for you, since using a stale rate is worse than entering none — always confirm the current figure before you calculate your deduction.
