Side Hustle & Gig Income
“What deductions can I claim from my Uber side gig, and what taxes am I responsible for?”
Uber side gig income often brings together several tax considerations, including business expenses, self-employment tax, and income tax reporting. Common deduction areas can include mileage or actual vehicle costs, phone use, tolls, parking, rideshare fees, and other ordinary expenses tied to the driving activity, though the treatment often depends on how records are kept and whether the car is used for both personal and business purposes. The tax picture also varies with total income, whether estimated payments are involved, and how the platform reports earnings and incentives. Keeping mileage logs and expense records is often central to understanding the filing outcome. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
