Deductions & credits
When you enter your income from Ride Share you will then be given the opportunity to enter your expenses. You will select vehicle expenses and enter the mileage in the vehicle expense section.
If this was a volunteer position, then your miles would be deductible only if you itemize your expenses. They would be considered a charitable donation if you were driving for a qualified charitable organization.
Itemized expenses include mortgage interest, gambling losses up to winnings, charitable contributions, state and local taxes up to $10,000, medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your AGI and casualty and losses in excess of 10% of you AGI with the first $100 not counting towards the loss.
Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your expenses.
The 2024 Standard Deductions are as follows:
- Married Filing Joint (MFJ) $29,200
- Married Filing Separate (MFS) $14,600
- Head of Household (HOH) $21,900
- Single $14,600
Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,550
Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $1,950
