Deduct those
as part of your business expenses along with the mileage you drove. If you
didn't keep track of the mileage or the amounts Uber withheld (commissions
etc), look on the 2015 Tax Information link on the payments page of your Uber
driver account. There is a summary sheet linked at the bottom and it shows the
fees they took out as well as the mileage for the trips (your mileage may
actually be more as you drove around waiting for a passenger.)
