Where do i enter the gas i used for Uber while filing my taxes

As a business owner or self-employed individual, you can enter either the standard mileage rate or the actual cost method, which tracks what you paid for gas and maintenance.

To use the standard mileage rate, you must keep a log of each trip with miles driven during the first year your vehicle is used for business. After that, you can either go with standard mileage or actual cost (unless you lease, in which case you must stick with standard mileage for the duration of the lease).

To enter vehicle related expenses:

• In the Self-Employed Turbo Tax version with the Federal Taxes tab at the top
• Click on the Federal Taxes tab
• Click on Income and Expenses
• You may see a prompt for Self-Employment, but if not
• Click on Check for More Income and See All Income
• Scroll down to the Self-Employment section with the blue person icon
• Click on Show More
• And Start or Edit. 
• Scroll down past Expenses line and click on the blue
• Add More Expenses for this work button
• Click on the circle for Vehicle Expenses
• Click on Continue at the bottom

The vehicle expenses have a series of questions and you can choose to use either a cost per mile or use the actual costs for the vehicle (including gas) and the next page has tolls and parking. There are more expense categories on the Add Expenses page if you click on the blue triangle next to Less Common Expensesfor legal and professional fees, commissions and much more.
