You will need to set up your Uber driving business first if you have not already done so. Then enter the Gross Fares (less the uber fee) under the Business Income section. All other fees (including the uber fee) will be deducted under Business expenses. Business vehicle expense is its own category.

Don't worry about the expense categories too much. If there is a category that seems to fit, enter it there. If not, enter them under misc. expenses. You can add descriptions for each one.
