The good news is that you can claim deductions for the miles you drove and the upkeep of your car to lower your Uber driver taxes. Tax deductible miles include: <ul class="list-decimal lg:pl-8 pl-4"><li>Miles driven with riders</li><li>Miles driven to pick up riders</li><li>Miles driven after dropping off a rider on the way to wait in a set location for another rider</li></ul> All business-related miles can be deducted. Make sure you keep all the receipts for the driving for your tax return as proof of any deductions. However, you can’t claim any miles en route to or from your home without any passengers, also known as “<a class="font-medium underline text-[#3563CD]" href="https://flyfin.tax/tax-tips/business-miles-vs-commuting-miles">commuting miles.</a>” You have two options when it comes to claiming mileage deductions for drivers: <ul class="list-decimal lg:pl-8 pl-4"><li><strong>Standard mileage method:</strong>This method is the most common and simplest option. For this deduction, multiply the <a class="font-medium underline text-[#3563CD]" href="https://flyfin.tax/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-updated-irs-standard-mileage-rate-in-2023">standard mileage rate</a> by the number of business miles driven. The rate for the 2024 tax year is $0.67. With this deduction, you can’t deduct any other expenses but you can deduct parking fees and tolls.</li><li><strong>Actual expenses method:</strong>With this option, you can deduct the actual cost of maintaining your vehicle, including car repairs, oil changes, car washes, license fees or gas. This option is a bit more complicated, so it’s best to use a <a class="font-medium underline text-[#3563CD]" href="https://flyfin.tax/standard-mileage-vs-actual-expenses">car mileage tax calculator</a> to help you find your deduction amount.</li></ul> Some drivers like to maximize their time on the road and simultaneously fulfill orders for other delivery services such as <a class="font-medium underline text-[#3563CD]" href="https://flyfin.tax/postmates-tax-1099">Postmates</a>, <a class="font-medium underline text-[#3563CD]" href="https://flyfin.tax/doordash-taxes-1099">Doordash</a>, <a class="font-medium underline text-[#3563CD]" href="https://flyfin.tax/instacart-tax-1099">Instacart</a> or <a class="font-medium underline text-[#3563CD]" href="https://flyfin.tax/grubhub-tax-1099">Grubhub</a>. </div></div></div><div id="cell-phone-deduction" class="relative w-full flex flex-col gap-4 md:mt-1 -mt-3"><h2 class="lg:w-[49.13rem] md:mx-auto md:text-4xl md:!leading-12 text-2xl w-full font-extrabold text-grey-500 ">Cell phone <span style="background: linear-gradient(101.76deg, #19ACA4 1.98%, #3563CD 100.59%); -webkit-background-clip: text; -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent; background-clip: text; text-fill-color: transparent;">deduction</span></h2> <div class="lg:w-[49.13rem] w-full md:mx-auto my-4"><div class="md:text-xl md:!leading-8 font-normal whitespace-pre-line text-grey-500 ">It’s basically impossible to drive for Uber or Lyft without a <a class="font-medium underline text-[#3563CD]" href="https://flyfin.tax/tax-deduction/phone">cell phone</a>.

You can deduct the cell phone cost, accessories, and your monthly cell phone bill. But remember, you’re only allowed to deduct the amount that’s used for business.
