Your data stays in your browser between sessions, so you can come back and add more trips throughout the year.

The generated PDF includes everything the IRS requires: date, start location, end location, purpose, miles driven, and trip type. It also includes your odometer readings (if entered), a calculated tax deduction summary, and a clean header showing your name and vehicle. Print it, email it to your CPA, or upload it to TurboTax — it is ready for tax filing as-is.
