 a filtering thing here so I could say let's filter this by uh by just the business and so there's just the business stuff and you might have two tabs then so you can give this information to someone here's my business stuff and then here's my personal stuff which is actually charitable there's my charitable miles and here's my personal or business miles right that's one way you can do it you can also use a pivot table might as well do that for the fun of it right you can use it you can insert a pivot table say I'm gonna well we don't need to do that I won't do a pivot table but that's that's it and then if you got audited or something like that you've got the information here and you might give it to your tax preparer as well so they kind of have this backup information to give you a tracking of your miles as opposed to just saying the odometer method where you're just like oh I think I drove the odometer method is like let's see where's managed vehicles uh I I think my starting miles were were hold on a second didn't I have an odometer I think my starting miles were 10,000 and my ending miles I think are are like 20 21,000 so I drove like 11,000 miles during the year and I'm just going to take like 80 percent of it as deductible or something like that if you do that then you're just estimating out of the blue and if you get audited on that you don't have a whole lot of evidence of the of where you went and whatnot so what you'd like to so what you'd like to be able to do is is be able to give this supporting information to the deduction that you're taking and note that this uh deduction amount if I if I pull over how they're calculating this is that 0.655 right that's just the mileage rate so we could just say 0.655 and then if I drove this many miles times that uh then you would think well hold on this still has some personal stuff in it let's filter this back down to just business so then so then then it comes out right right so it's just the 35.76 business miles times this amount and that's where they're getting this business deduction obviously your accountant will take this information and just enter the business miles in and then and then the system will calculate this in this basically the same way the tax software but you can get a good estimate of your deduction this way which might help you for your for your budgeting and whatnot so that's how you can kind of provide it to your tax professional now the next step is that you might want to say well well how can I see that over here in my financial statements because I have my actual deductions over here and I want to do this for taxes how can I kind of change this possibly with the help of excel if you're a tax professional or doing your own taxes or if you just want to do budgeting so that you can kind of see your income statement we might be able to use like class tracking to give us an idea of a of a of a of the income statement and an adjusted income statement which is kind of neat so we'll we'll dive into that in future presentations
