In this one-minute moment, Dr. Friday emphasizes the need for self-employed individuals to meticulously track business mileage (at 67 cents per mile) using logs or apps and document trip purposes to withstand IRS scrutiny.

G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment.
If you are a self-employed individual and you use your vehicle for work, remember: 67 cents per mile. That’s only good if you’re tracking the miles. Looking up and telling your tax person, ‘Well, I think I put about 20,000 miles on my car,’ is never going to stand up in any kind of scrutiny.
You need to have something like Mileage IQ, some sort of paper book that you keep in the car. You need to have a purpose. Why did you go to this location? I went for tax preparation. Why was it this, and why was that? Who did you meet? What was the purpose?
You need that information because if you ever get audited, I will tell you, that will be one of the top things they audit.
