Nothing small about this stuff! I have an automated toll payment/tracker installed on my vehicle. I have it set to automatically "top up" from a credit card when I run low on the balance. At the end of the year I can print out an itemized account of all of the toll travel for the year that matches my written trip records. Since I only use toll roads on MS business trips, and the Mid-Atlantic long routes are almost all toll, that is a lot of tolls. Local metered parking is paid using an app, which also provides a time/date record of expenses. Airport parking is paid by credit card and when the cc bills arrive I circle all business expenses, add notes as needed, and file those in the year's tax fold to be tallied in April. If I have to plug a parking meter with coins, or use public transportation to access a shop, I just note those in my mileage log. (Side note for public transit cost and explanation, of course.). At tax prep time I just gather those sources and have what I need, computed and entered in Turbo Tax, all within about 15 minutes.
