Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I drive for Lyft on the side, what can I deduct and what do I owe?”
Rideshare income often brings up both deductible business expenses and the way self-employment income is reported, so the answer usually depends on how the driving is tracked and what records are available. For Lyft driving, common factors include mileage versus actual vehicle costs, phone and data use, tolls and parking, and any platform fees or commissions. What is owed can also vary with total side income, other wages, and whether estimated tax payments were made during the year. Good trip logs, receipts, and a clear separation between personal and business use often shape the final result. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
