<prompt> Human: Hi all. First time posting here. I just started a new job delivering flowers. Payment is on a per delivery basis and based on zip code. There is no mileage compensation. A friend of mine suggests I keep a mileage log, when I start and end my delivery trips. I just started that today. Is there any other data you recommend I record? She also suggests I keep all receipts related to fueling up my car. And anyall automotive expenses. Im thinking of buying the year service of Evernote. Ive read elsewhere its a good way to record receipts, etc as I may need them come next tax season. Why is that important? I guess I get some money back for using my own vehicle for my employer?  <response>: Since your employer does not cover your mileage then you want to deduct those expenses and reduce your tax liability. Are you a W2 or 1099 employee? That greatly changes how you can deduct work related expenses.
