Car for Lyft drivers
$20,000-$60,000
Can Lyft Drivers Write Off Their Car?
Short answer: Partly: Lyft drivers deduct the business-use share of a car through the mileage rate or depreciation, not the full price or car payments.
Car payments themselves aren't deductible; interest is (by business share) if self-employed. Vehicles over 6,000 lbs GVWR get bigger first-year write-offs.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
