Business & farm
you are supposed to report business expenses only if they are deductible. there is no fraud or tax evasion for not reporting non-deductible expenses (since the IRS would just disallow them upon audit). otherwise, many filers would be guilty.
if this is the first year for reporting the vehicle, I would just delete all the entries for the vehicle.
if you want to be able to deduct vehicle expenses next year record your total mileage now and then again at the end or near the end of 2023.
there are free cell phone apps that will allow you to track mileage or use paper and pencil. you don't have to track personal or commuting mileage.
The IRS requires a few basic components in a Mileage Log:
Date
Destination
Business purpose
Odometer reading
Other expenses (gas, oil, tolls, etc)
