Water, gum, and chargers for passengers
$10-$50/mo
Can You Write Off Water, Gum, and Chargers for Passengers?
Short answer: Yes: amenities you provide to riders are deductible supplies.
Gig drivers deduct business costs on Schedule C, but if you use the standard mileage rate, gas, repairs, insurance, and depreciation are already included.
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.
