Can You Write Off Mileage Between Rides?
Short answer: Yes: miles driving to a pickup, with a passenger, and between trips while the app is on are business miles.
The drive from home to your first ride is debated; most tax pros count it once you're online.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
