Unless you are self-employed and are using Uber during your work day to travel between jobs or clients, you cannot enter anything about uber rides. If you are self-employed, and have a home office, your utility bills and internet service may factor in to your business expenses.
W-2 employees cannot enter anything at all for job-related expenses such as uber rides to go to work, utility bills, nor an you enter anything about utility bills, cable service, internet, etc. Personal loans are not deductible.
If you are itemizing deductions you can enter your out of pocket medical expenses. But it is very difficult to actually use medical expenses as a deduction.
MEDICAL EXPENSES
The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.) expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2025—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding. Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.
To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses
