Mileage for Amazon Flex drivers
Per mile
Can Amazon Flex Drivers Write Off Mileage?
Short answer: Yes: Amazon Flex drivers can deduct business miles at the IRS standard mileage rate, which already covers gas, insurance, and wear.
Miles from the station to your last delivery and back are business; the drive from home to the station may be commuting. Use the standard mileage rate (70 cents a mile for 2025, adjusted yearly) or actual costs times business-use percentage, not both in the same year.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
