Tax law requires you should keep a log of your business miles or actual expenses in order to deduct them. If you didn't keep track of your miles, you can try and recreate your mileage as best you can with verifiable documents.

 

Mileage is an allowable deduction if you’re self-employed or own your own business.

  • You can choose between the standard mileage rate or the actual cost method where you keep track of what you paid for gas and maintenance.
  • To use the standard mileage rate, you must keep a log of each trip with miles driven during the first year your vehicle is used for business. After that, you can either go with standard mileage or actual cost (unless you lease, in which case you must stick with standard mileage for the duration of the lease).

 

Here are some resources to help you: 

 

To enter your Uber income if you didn't receive a form, see: How do I enter income from Uber or Lyft when I didn’t get a Form 1099 this year? 

 

If you received form 1099-NEC or form 1099-MISC, to enter the form, see Where do I enter a 1099-MISC?

Es muy importante que se lleve un registro de las millas que se manejan, sobre todo si su trabajo es conducir su vehículo.  El registro puede ser tan sencillo como escribir las millas diarias en una libreta, o algunas personas utilizan aplicaciones en su celular.  También varias compañías como Uber, Lyft tienen reportes disponibles donde ellos tienen un registro de las millas, aunque estos reportes a veces no están tan completos.  Si no realizaste un registro de sus millas, puedes intentar recrear lo mejor que se pueda con documentos verificables. 

 

¿Puedo deducir millaje?

¿Dónde registro mis ingresos de Lyft/Uber?

¿Qué gastos puedo deducir del trabajo por cuenta propia?
