The Driver's Mileage Record Book

If you drive for work, every mile belongs in writing, the day you drive it.

The Driver's Mileage Record Book

One tax year of daily mileage, one line per shift.

Deliveries, rideshare, a sales route, supply runs: the miles add up fast, and by tax time nobody remembers them. This takes five minutes at the end of a shift: the date, the odometer at the start and the end, where you went, what it was for, and any tolls and parking.

56 pages · 750 log lines · One book per tax year · 8.5 x 11 inch paperback

Built around what the IRS says a car record should show. The front pages set out in plain words what IRS Publication 463 (2025) lists for each business use of a car and for the year, with a filled-in sample line. The mileage rate is not printed, because it changes; look it up for the year you file.

This is an organizer for your own records, not tax advice. It does not decide which miles count or what can be deducted. Rules change and depend on your situation, so ask a tax preparer.
