What if I did not keep record of mileage used in 2023 for business purposes?

I need to answer question about taking standard deduction or actual expenses for milage on 2024 taxes

You are required to keep a written record to support the business use of your vehicle, typically in the form of a mileage log. If you get audited the IRS will want to see the log and may deny your vehicle use deduction if you don't have it.
