I drive for Uber. Why is it saying don't include commuting miles?
I was told to include miles driven with customer in car, miles driven to pick up customer and miles driving around waiting for a PING.

You can deduct mileage from the second you go available until you're done. The only mileage that you can't deduct is if you were available and giving rides, stopped for a couple of hours for personal stuff and then started again. You couldn't claim the miles you drove during the personal time when you weren't in available status.

Can I ask why when I file the same information in another tax company it's giving me different amounts?
