4. Taxable Uber/Lyft Drivers are required to keep detailed records of any mileage or expenses related to their business. Drivers are able to claim their actual costs, a percentage of their actual costs, or use a standard rate per business mile. Actual costs include car/lease payments, vehicular improvements, vehicle registration, etc. as it relates to the business usage of the Uber/Lyft vehicle. Verification must be provided. Drivers who use their vehicle for both business and personal transportation, may claim only a percentage of the actual costs as a deduction. This percentage is calculated as (business mileage/total mileage) used on the vehicle. Multiply this percentage to all verified actual costs to determine the allowable deduction. (Ex. Client provides proof they drove 1000 miles for Uber out of a total 2000 miles on their car. This calculates to 50% (1000/2000), allowing only 50% of the actual costs as a deduction). Non-car related expenses such as parking fees, tolls, meals, lodging, water, snacks, etc. that are attributable as business usage are an allowable deduction for Uber/Lyft drivers regardless of which expense option they claim.
