    Default Business Mileage Deduction

    Hi all, I reviewed some of the threads from last year, and I understand I can only count business mileage that of driving from my home club to another club, or if i make a trip to another club and stay overnight. Right?
    Anyways, my question is how do you all keep track of your mileage? I've been just typing it in my excel document that tracks everything else (receipts, income, tax info), but I'm not sure if I'm including enough detail. My record looks like: "January 4- 16.4 miles", and then I can refer to my more detailed income sheet to see exactly what club I drove to from the home club. Should I be more specific, i.e. "date J: club x to club y: 22 miles, 29,070 to 29,092"?

    Thanks!

    if your are ever audited, being more specific in your recordkeeping would be helpful.

    Expense Report Wizard on my Blackberry. I fill in all the relevant entries there.

    Thanks for the advice--- I guess I'll attempt to remember writing down my exact mileage between the clubs each day. Here goes another sticky note on the mirror
