Expenses related to the rideshare self-employment activity would be deductible on the 2020 Federal 1040 tax return and not the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return.  Do I understand that you had no rideshare income to report in 2020?

 

If you filed a 2020 Federal 1040 tax return, you would have to amend the tax return to claim the expenses.  We do not know what would have been reported on such a tax return.  It is possible that reporting such expenses would not change the bottom line refund amount or balance due.

 

This TurboTax Help explains the amendment process.
