Log book

You should start a new log book every month.

 

3 months, 6 months whatever..........

 

go a new book every month--its easier and makes more sense--then when you are done--write on the outside with a sharpy which month ,put it with the others and a big rubber band--throw them in the cubby hole till tax time

 

Can't help you with the logs cause I am on eLogs.

You need to have x number of posts before the thanks button shows up

 

If I paid for it I`m using the whole book.

 

I find it makes more sense to have one book for each month. The IRS has a flat rate you can take off your income taxes when you drive a truck. I wonder how that drivers will prove that they were out of town or the number of days if they are audited when they have electronic logs? Unless you can prove you were out of town the IRS could disallow your deduction. You could list all of your expenses for every day you are on the road, but it can be easier to just take the flat deduction. I wonder if those who support these EOBR's have considered the tax implications for millions of drivers?

 

What was the original question again.

Something about tax returns ??

 

There is absolutely no rule that says you need to use a different log book every month. Just make sure you have the required copies with you (past 7 days), keep the rest at home or whatever, but keep everything for IRS purposes in case your per diem exemption is ever question.

 

That's it right on the nose. I even think I've got some around the house from the mid 70's. It's fun to look back.
