Found a way to claim gas mileage without a logbook every trip
I was tracking every single mile driving between gigs for months and it was a pain. Then a buddy who does landscaping told me he just uses the standard mileage rate on his total business miles for the year from Google Maps history. I exported my location data for 2023 and found I drove 4,200 miles just for work trips. Has anyone else tried using their phone's location history instead of a paper log?

My buddy tried that and the IRS flagged his return and he owed back taxes plus penalties.

Yeah that's the risk with pushing the line too far with deductions.
