Are You Being Audited For Mileage?

Have you received a notice of an IRS audit? Is the IRS asking for supporting documentation for your mileage tax return? Perhaps you don’t have the records to support your claims, or your old logs aren’t good enough. Facing an IRS audit unprepared can be a real headache, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

Would your Excel sheets / templates / samples / paper logs hold up during an IRS audit? Submitting inaccurate mileage logs could lead to penalties from the IRS. Depending on the average business miles claimed on your taxes, those fines could be huge!

Manual mileage logs are not audit-proof
Time is short when you receive an IRS audit

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

The IRS typically expects a response within 30 days of their notice. Depending on the number of miles you’ve claimed and the number of years under review, going through all that data can be extremely time-consuming.

Failing to respond by the deadline or turning in requested documents late can have serious consequences. The IRS may disallow your deductions, assess additional taxes, and even issue penalties for late submissions.
