Hi, can I file my Uber and Lyft rides as a *rider* not a *driver* under deductions? Or anything like that? And how?

Your Uber & Lyft rides are only deductible if you are self-employed and using them while traveling for business.  If you are commuting to and from a business location or using them for any other reason, they are not deductible.

They may be deductible if you are traveling to a Medical appointment, or a charity event.
