Self employed

I am an IC with a home-based office. If I need to drive to my host office location for training or meetings, is the mileage deductible? A collegue told me that her tax preparer said it was not deductible. 

A depreciation question. In Feb of 2024, my spouse purchased a Mac Studio and laser printer to facilitate her working remotely for her ex-employer. They are both 5 year properties and I've been tracking their depreciation according to MACRS schedule (not that we can deduct depreciation as individuals). In March of 2026, the firm, essentially folded, and she formed an LLC to continue as a free lancer. The computer/printer became the LLC's property. My questions are, do I use their current depreciated value or their fair market value (which is substantially higher, due to the RAM shortage caused by AI)? Second, does the 5 year time line reset to LLC's formation date?

I have always been a dependent and have never made any income before. I want to start freelancing, but have no idea where to start and I am deeply overwhelmed.1. If I have never made income before, and have no clue what my income in my first year (or half year, if I start in June?) will be, how do I file quarterly estimates? Do I just assume I won’t make it past the lowest tax bracket and file accordingly?2. I have read that if you hadn’t made $1,000 in taxable income the previous year, you don’t actually need to do quarterly taxes. Is that true in my case? Will I only be filing at the end of the year?3. I have heard that it’s best to have a business bank account to keep things orderly and better avoid IRS scrutiny. This is probably my dumbest question and I apologize, but if everything goes to my business account… when/how do I make personal expenses, outside of business deductible expenses, if all of my income is to be in a business account? Do I just… transfer it to my personal when

How do I enter Uber earnings manually? I choose the line that says rideshare, choose Uber, and choose to enter manually, but it doesn’t give me a place to do that.
