Can Instacart Shoppers Write Off Gas?
Short answer: Only if you use the actual expense method; Instacart shoppers who take standard mileage can't deduct gas separately because it's built into the rate.
With actual expenses, deduct gas, repairs, insurance, and depreciation times your business-use percentage.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
