As an Uber or Lyft driver, can I deduct my lunch I get every day?

uberJa · ‎January 15, 2025

My host Uber city is San Francisco, CA. I do not live in San Francisco, I live 23 miles away. I don't drive in my Residencial city unless dropping off then it's back to San Francisco.

Can I deduct my lunch meals?

If yes, where?

No, you cannot deduct your lunch. You would be eating lunch no matter where you worked. Lunch is not a business expense.
