MILEAGE STATEMENT
Dear Client:
The current tax law is very specific as to how we need to treat and report the business use of a personal vehicle and mileage records.
The tax law provides various penalties that may be imposed to you the taxpayer and us, the preparer, when in audit, and you cannot
support deductions taken.
We therefore are presenting to you this other information to consider and answer, to help better your position you are asking us to take
on your return.

For business use of vehicles, the IRS requires written records(log) to be maintained to document business use of vehicles. Since the
preparation of your tax return requires this information, please provide answers to the following questions. If you used more than one
vehicle during the year, you will need to prepare a separate statement for each vehicle.

I am aware that in the case of an audit, if these records and log are not maintained, penalties and/or the loss of the vehicle
deduction may be imposed.
That these preparers have inquired if I maintain and keep a vehicle travel log, record or diary, and that it is in written form.
The information provided above is provided by me from the written records I maintain.
You are also aware that if for any reason the Internal Revenue Service, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, any other
taxing authority, or any court, shall require you to adjust your tax return in question due to these inclusions, you agree to
hold this tax preparer harmless of any tax owed, and any penalties or interest. Further, you agree to pay any additional fees
required to amend your return, if required.
