The IRS requires you to keep track for mileage regardless of which method you use. You will need to enter your mileage even for actual expenses. The IRS need to determine how much of your car use was business use vs personal. The way they do that is to compare business miles to total miles. Keep in mind the following when deciding which method to choose.

What Are Adequate
Records?

trip sheets, or similar record. You should also
keep documentary evidence that, together with
your record, will support each element of an expense.

have documentary evidence, such as receipts,
canceled checks, or bills, to support your expenses. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p463.pdf
