Would your mileage logs stand up to an IRS audit? If you use your car for work but don’t have a clean, up-to-date mileage log, you’re not alone. Most people know they could claim business mileage, but keeping a compliant log often falls to the bottom of the list.
That’s exactly the problem MileageWise was built to solve. MileageWise focuses exclusively on mileage logging. Since 2001, we’ve created IRS-compliant mileage logs across the USA and Europe for 79712 vehicles at 73998 companies.

The Problem With Mileage Logs
From daily feedback, we see the same issue again and again. People are busy. Trips go untracked. Logs become incomplete or outdated. By the time taxes come around, the data is scattered or missing.
Our mileage log system, web dashboard, and mobile apps were designed for one purpose only: to turn incomplete or unorganized driving data into IRS-proof mileage logs.
Need a Retrospective Mileage Log?
If your driving history exists in Google Maps Timeline, you’re already halfway there. Here’s how to export your Google Timeline data. Once exported, simply send us the JSON file. Our experts assemble the data and deliver a 100% IRS-compliant mileage log.
Before delivery, our built-in IRS Auditor checks and corrects over 70 potential red flags in your mileage log. This ensures the final report meets IRS requirements, even when the original data is incomplete.
You can also connect data from other systems to our Web Dashboard, including:
- Other mileage tracker apps
- Billing or accounting software
- Built-in GPS devices
- CRM systems
- Refueling receipts
- And other supporting data sources
You may also provide your data manually, if needed.
What We’ll Need From You
- Your vehicle details and real MPG
- Frequently visited clients or addresses
- Regular daily or recurring trips
- Refueling details (date, location, amount, cost)
- Non-working periods such as holidays
- Odometer readings (year-end, month-end, and at refueling or charging)
How the Mileage Log Tax Preparation Service Works
Think of it as handing your mileage data to a trusted assistant. MileageWise prepares a mileage log draft, similar to a tax return draft. You review it, and once you’re satisfied, you download the final version.
Many clients come to us with existing logs created elsewhere or request verification before an IRS audit. In over 90% of cases, corrections are needed. Catching these issues early helps avoid penalties and unnecessary stress.
What the IRS Says About Mileage Log Evidence
According to IRS Publication 463, the best evidence of a business expense is a record kept at or near the time of the expense. However, later-created records are also acceptable if they follow the IRS-required mileage log format and clearly support the claimed expenses.
What matters most is not when the log was created, but whether its content is accurate, complete, and compliant. When audited, the IRS reviews the mileage log itself and checks it against IRS rules.
