I don’t have the answer unless I see the answer choices. Could you paste the "following" records listed in the question?

Meanwhile, here are the records the IRS does require for deducting business use of a car (so you can spot which item is NOT required):

- A contemporaneous mileage log showing for each business trip: date, starting point and destination, business purpose, and miles driven (or starting and ending odometer readings).
- Total miles driven for the year and total business miles (or commuting miles as applicable).
- If using the actual-expense method: receipts/invoices for gas, oil, repairs, insurance, registration, parking/tolls, lease payments, and records supporting depreciation.
- Evidence supporting purchase/lease and business ownership (purchase contract, lease agreement).

Items that typically are NOT required: the vehicle VIN or license-plate color, a separate log of personal trips (beyond total personal miles), or daily odometer readings when you already have trip-by-trip starting/ending readings.

If you paste the answer choices I’ll pick the correct one.
