You can enter the miles and not the odometer. 

IRS regulations and guidance provide that to qualify for the mileage deduction you are required to have a record of four facts when you drive your car for business:

  • time and date of the drive
  • total distance of the drive
  • destination of the drive, and
  • business purpose of the drive.
