Other than using a mileage tracker App, are there any other requirements needed when confirming the mileage entered on a tax return for food delivery (UberEats) self-employment?

    A mileage app is a great tool for recording mileage.  However, you can use any method to track your mileage.


    Keeping a simple log, calendar, notepad is sufficient documentation.  You need to provide miles for each trip, time & date and purpose.  Be sure you keep total mileage for the year as well as  business mileage.  You will need both to arrive at the business use percentage.

     

    You won't need to provide the documentation to the IRS, but do keep it with your tax records so you can quickly provide it if the IRS requests it in the future.
