What is the name of your state?
Seems to me that if you have the app on and are accepting fares, you are working.Texas, but its a question about fedral tax deductions, specifically auto milage.
I work in Lewisville, but live in dallas (25miles one way). I do uber, amazon flex etc after work and use my car.
I wake up drive from dallas to Lewisville for a regular 40 hour a week job. I cannot deduct those miles I know.
after work (Mon to Fri only) I turn on my uber app and start taking orders right away.
My question is driving from my regular job to home (25 miles) as long as I have the app on and take the jobs offered and I am on purpose heading homeward bound , are those miles tax deductible?
I think that from work to your first customer is not deductible and from your last customer to home is not deductible.My question is driving from my regular job to home (25 miles) as long as I have the app on and take the jobs offered and I am on purpose heading homeward bound , are those miles tax deductible?
Yes, I can see that working.just take a fare after work in my work area and then start driving home (25 miles) and pick up whatever I get and if last fare is near home I wont claim those.
From my knowledge of Uber, you go where the fare takes you, so the direction you start off in is largely irrelevant.I read all the irs publications, but nothing in there about traveling in a SPECIFIC direction while accepting any jobs that may come that way.
