WHAT ARE THE IRS PENALTIES OF NOT HAVING A MILEAGE LOG?

Many people worry about the IRS’s penalties in this regard, which is why “mileage log IRS did not accept” is such a common Google search. Unfortunately, that worry is very much a legitimate thing – a penalty from the IRS can be enormous. This means that you’ve got to stay on top of your logs, no matter what.
