Can I write off my Uber/Lyft rides to and from work?

[sweetluzy]

I use uber/lyft M-F to get to and from work. Can I write this expense off?

[Phillip1]

No.

This is a nondeductible commuting expense. If there are Uber trips that are errands from one work location to another, you could deduct those Uber rides. However, you would need to keep a record that says the amount, date, and business purpose for your Uber expenses.

So where do I deduct it?

@NataliyaK You do NOT get to deduct the cost of using Uber, etc. to go to work.  The cost of commuting to work is not deductible.  period.

where would I list the expenses. What area

[BrittanyS]

Unfortunately, commuting costs are not tax deductible, so you will not included them on your Federal Tax return.  Commuting expenses from driving from home to work, no matter how far you drive to get to work.
