The most commonly lost deduction isn’t a receipt — it’s miles. If you drive your own vehicle for business and can’t prove the trips, the deduction isn’t worth the paper it isn’t written on. This log is built to be that proof.
Every trip row captures the four things the IRS asks for — date, odometer readings, destination, and business purpose — in a clean format an examiner can read at a glance. Month by month it rolls up into a summary, and the year-end page puts the standard mileage method and the actual-expense method side by side, finished, ready to hand to your preparer. One PDF, two ways to use it — type into it in any free PDF reader, or print it and keep it in the vehicle. No special software, no account.
One thing plainly: this is a record-keeping tool, not tax advice — a template, not legal advice. Laws vary by state. For complex situations, consult an attorney or a tax professional about your specific circumstances. Deduction rules and the standard mileage rate change; the log points you to the current IRS sources rather than printing a rate that goes stale.
The IRS asks for four things per trip — date, miles, destination, and business purpose — recorded at or near the time of the trip. Every row in this log has exactly those four fields, plus starting and ending odometer readings, which is stronger evidence than miles alone.
No — deliberately. The rate changes, and a printed rate goes stale. The year-end page has a field for the current rate and points you to IRS.gov, so the log works every year.
Print or save a copy per vehicle — one log per vehicle is how the records stay clean. The license covers your own business use.
US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), designed to print cleanly in black & white or color.
