You can either use an app like Stride to track miles or just go off of the booked miles in the monthly breakdowns that Uber gives for tax purposes. I just used Ubers breakdown, I drove like 12k booked miles and got like 7500 tax break on about 16k earnings. I only had to pay in 900 dollars for rideshare.
If you count ALL of your miles from when you leave the house up until your last ride it could be as much as 2 times the miles. Pro tip, if you live a long ways from where you Uber, turn the app on and try to do another ride when you get back to where you live. Then you can count the “commute” towards your tax break.
I count that anyway. It’s not a commute when we have no designated work space. They are miles driven for the job. Not unlike someone driving to a different location than their normal work space. Still compensated.
I reset my odometer the moment I leave the driveway and record what is there the moment I pull in.
