The good news is that as self-employed, you’re also entitled to a series of business-related deductions on your taxes. As the name suggests, “deductions” are amounts that you can deduct from your taxable income because they are oftgen business-related expenses. Aside from your repair costs, any yearly city-stickers or registration cost, you can also have you mileage deducted. However. to be able to do this properly, you must first know how many miles exclusively for your business you’ve added on the odometer. Mileage cannot include driving hours for personal purposes. You may write off $0.545 per mile that you’ve driven as a rideshare contractor.
There are various apps you can use to track your mileage properly. Some popular ones are Stride, Triplog, Everlance and MileIQ.
