@virjonbrahimllari - IRS rules do not permit deduction of the mileage from home to pick up of the 1st client.... it has nothing to do with 'working'; it's simply the IRS rules as they define that mileage as "commuting", even if you are doing work! Regardless of your definition of 'working' or UBER's definition of "working" , you simply can not deduct the miles from home to the 1st client.
From your definition, how can you be "working" if you are not getting paid? you can't be paid until you pick up that 1st client....and again, from home to the first client (and from the last client to home when you are also not getting paid) is "commuting" by the IRS definition.
did you look at the schematic I posted in the last post? THAT is the way the IRS looks at it.... and that is all that matters. How you or Uber or I look at it is immaterial. what is material, is how the IRS looks at it. and it's not deductible at it is 'commuting' time by the IRS defintion!!!
