Can I use unclaimed rideshare expenses from 2016 on 2017 return?

[Marketstar · Accepted solution]

No, unfortunately, you can only claim 2016 qualified expenses not claimed by amending your 2016 return.

When you amend, if the result does not make a difference, you can disregard it.

If the result does change, print and mail the amendment a (it cannot be e-filed) and allow about 16 weeks for processing
