If I file with standard deduction and worked both a w2 and a 1099 NEC job, can I claim the expenses on my 1099 job without losing the standard deduction?
For Context the1099 job was a part time food delivery side hustle with postmates/doordash. 1 month of deliveries totaled about 2.5k miles.

The expenses for your self-employment work are business expenses. They have nothing to do with the standard deduction or itemized deductions. Claiming the business expenses will not affect the standard deduction.
