See this tax tips article by TurboTax to help you understand the tax situation: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Self-Employment-Taxes/Tax-Tips-for-Uber--Lyft--Sideca...

You can deduct actual expenses or take a mileage deduction. If you deduct mileage, that deduction includes oil changes, gasoline, tires, repairs, etc. If your expenses are more than your income, then you would enter a loss on your tax return. These entries are all made on Schedule C which then flows to form 1040.

If you had more than $100 of expenses, you will need to upgrade to the Self Employment online version to complete your tax return using the online product.

Premier won't suffice?

You can't use Deluxe or Premier if you have more than $100 of expenses and use the online product. You can use any version of the CD/download product. Home & Business (Self Employment in the online product) will give you more guidance in preparing the Schedule C.
