Another tip for the mileage: if your name isn’t listed on the auto loan or lease document you can’t deduct any business miles that you track. Found this out in January this year. My sister’s ex drove her car and did DD and UberEats last year and their name wasn’t on the auto loan. When they started putting in the work mileage on TurboTax it said they couldn’t deduct any work miles cause their name wasn’t on the car. Which was karma for being a horrible person to my sister

Or no becuase your using the standard deduction? Sorry first time filing as a Doordash driver so just wanna make sure I do it right. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

After calculating all of my expenses, repairs, gas, the cost of my vehicle and for how long it lasted having delivered full time I found that atleast 30% of my earnings went right back into my vehicle. Now I'm left owing thousands back to the IRS. Realistically doordash/Uber drivers should not have to pay taxes .69/mile pretty much only covered gas.

Is it better to write off mileage or auto monthly payment

Hopefully you can answer this question Bri. I've asked a few people on KZread and several Spark drivers and they pretty much all have a different answer. Does my mileage start from the minute I accept an offer? I've been told by other Spark drivers they deduct mileage from the time they leave there house till they get home. I've heard you start tracking your mileage from the time you accept an offer until your last stop being the customer. I've also heard your mileage starts at the store up to the time you are finished with the last customer. In other words you can only deduct mileage from the store to the customer and nothing else. Can you please clear this mileage thing up, thank you in advance.

You can claim the mileage if accept an order to get to the store.

@@66lwmorgan that is fairly accurate. The thing is if you are able to accept a job to go to your first delivery while at home and leave to go perform that delivery, those miles are business miles. If you live 20 miles out of town and have to drive to get in a "hot zone" then that mileage is not suppose to be counted. You will have reported delivery mileage that they report as miles you are on deliveries. These will not count the mileage to get back to your zone while doing deliveries so your reported miles are going to be more than what app reports to irs.

Some folks turn their apps on for accepting offers while still at home. Some travel to (and from) places in order to start/finish accepting delivery offers (where they turn on/off their apps). For example, I usually gas up each morning at a nearby Costco. I like to begin receiving offers after I gas up. That’s when I turn on my apps. And that’s when I begin to track my miles as business miles. After my final delivery, I’ll turn off my apps and no longer count my miles as business miles. Also, if I take a break during the day and turn my apps off, I will count my miles driven when my apps are off as personal.

It has to be used for business purposes so no. Now you could argue that you listen to podcasts to help make you a better driver and earn more money then that is work related. If you go that route you need to use the percentage of business miles to personal miles on your vehicle and use that percentage of your total cost. Example: if 75% of your miles on your car are business miles than you deduct 75% of the cost of your Sirius bill. The other 25% is for personal use and would NOT be tax deductible. Just read the IRS website. All your answers are there.

Listen to anyone that gets a traffic violation on the road whether driving for personal trips or side gigs. GET AN ATTORNEY. For traffic violations it isn’t expensive and finding the right attorney will save you a burden of headaches, stress, lost time with court dates etc. When you get an attorney it’s a one time fee, the attorney shows up to court for you and gets that violation dismissed. You won’t get any points on your driving record meaning your insurance will not go up for three, five or seven years depending on the violation. I learned from experience take this information vital from me.

They only show the miles from p/u to delivery (active hour miles). So you won’t want to use their noted mileage, but the mileage you track while your app(s) are on and you are accepting deliveries. You can’t include “commute” miles - the miles you drive with your apps off in order to get to an area where you then turn your apps on. But other than your commuting miles, you should use all miles driven while your apps are on and you are accepting deliveries.
