🚗 What Uber Doesn't Tell You About Mileage Deductions

For rideshare and delivery drivers, mileage is often your biggest deduction—but only if you track it properly. The IRS 2026 rate is $0.725 per mile. If you drive 20,000 miles for work, that's a $14,500 deduction. At a 20% tax rate, you save $2,900. Most drivers miss 30-50% of deductible miles because manual tracking fails. This calculator shows you what you're leaving on the table.

PlatformTaxHub focuses on solutions for the 435 million gig workers, freelancers, creators, digital product sellers, ecommerce sellers, and rental hosts juggling income, expenses, taxes, and regulations across the platform economy.

Who This Mileage Deduction Calculator Is For

This tool is built for rideshare drivers (Uber, Lyft), delivery workers (DoorDash, Uber Eats), couriers, and any platform earner who drives for work. If you're a driver in the US tracking miles for IRS deductions, a delivery rider in the UK claiming HMRC mileage, or a gig worker anywhere wondering what business travel you can deduct, this calculator gives you a clear answer.

What Happens If You Don't Track Mileage Properly

Most drivers miss 30-50% of deductible miles when tracking manually. For someone driving 20,000 miles a year at the US rate of $0.725/mile, that's $10,500-$17,500 in missed deductions and $2,100-$3,500 in higher taxes at a 20% rate. Over five years, that's $10,000+ left on the table.

Even worse, if you're audited, incomplete or estimated logs may not be accepted by tax authorities. The IRS and other tax agencies require contemporaneous records—logs written at the time of travel, not reconstructed at year-end.

PlatformTaxHub is building automated tracking that captures every trip in real time, so you never miss a mile and always have audit-proof records.
