Tires and oil changes for gig drivers

$50-$1,000

Can You Write Off Tires and Oil Changes for Gig Drivers?

Short answer: Deductible at your business-use percentage under actual expenses, but not on top of the standard mileage rate.

Use the standard mileage rate (72.5 cents a mile for 2026) or actual costs times business-use percentage, and keep a log of each trip.

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.
