I received On-delivery mileage and Total Dash mileage estimates for 2025 from DoorDash. Is this an acceptable mileage record?

    Assuming the on-delivery mileage and Total Dash mileage report indicates the date of the delivery and the vehicle used, it would be an acceptable mileage record.

     

    It may also be used in tandem with your own mileage records, such as your daily beginning and ending mileage readings when starting and ending service.

     

    In TurboTax Online, report vehicle expenses within your self-employment activity by following these steps:

     

    • Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
    • Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
    • Click on the drop down arrow to the right of Self-employment.
    • Click to the right of Self-employment income and expenses.
    • At the screen Your 2025 self-employed work summary, click the pencil icon to the right of the self-employment activity.
    • At the screen Here's your xxx info, click the pencil icon to the right of the Vehicle under Expenses.
