Question

I signed up to do work for Uber Eats on a bike. I purchased a bike to do Uber eats last year but did not get around to do any work. Can I write if off from last years taxes or do I have to wait till this year?

If you cannot show that you were available to work but work was not available, then you cannot write off the equipment. If you can show you bought the bike and you were online for a reasonable amount of time to take jobs but Uber sent nothing your way to do pickups, then you can make a case for writing off the equipment.
