01 — Why drivers quit
Three things keep drivers up at night. We kill all three.
01
Am I actually making money?
Uber pays you gross. Nobody tells you what's left after fuel, insurance, and wear-and-tear.
Our answer: A live net-per-mile number. Green if you're winning the shift, red if you're subsidizing the platform.
02
Will the IRS wreck me in April?
1099 income means self-employment tax + income tax. Most drivers set aside nothing.
Our answer: We move ~25% of every payout into a locked tax jar. By April the money is already there.
03
Am I missing deductions?
Miles, phone %, snacks, tolls, car washes — hundreds of small write-offs slip through.
Our answer: Auto-categorized deductions and a Schedule C that fills itself. Nothing left on the table.
02 — What you get
Every deduction. Every dollar. Zero spreadsheets.
One-tap mileage log
Log a shift in seconds — odometer or total miles. Standard mileage or actual method, your call.
Fuel + IFTA (truckers)
Scan pump receipts. We group gallons by jurisdiction so IFTA quarterlies write themselves.
Per-diem days
One tap per overnight away from home. $69/day × 80% deductible for OTR truckers, tracked automatically.
Tax jar autopilot
Every deposit auto-reserves for SE tax + income tax. No shortfall, no surprise.
Schedule C, pre-filled
Gross receipts, vehicle deduction, per-diem, net profit, SE tax, quarterly estimate — all one screen.
Audit-safe records
Every trip, every receipt timestamped and exportable. If the IRS asks, you have the file.

Bookkeeping for rideshare and delivery drivers
Driving pays weekly and costs daily, which is why gross earnings tell you almost nothing. What matters is what is left after fuel, mileage wear and the tax nobody withheld for you.
Mileage is usually your biggest deduction
Every business mile you drive is deductible at the IRS standard rate, and for a full-time driver that single figure often dwarfs every other expense combined. Miles count from the moment you go online looking for a fare until you go offline, including the empty miles between trips — not your commute from bed to the first pickup.
The IRS expects a contemporaneous log: date, business purpose, start and end odometer or the mileage total. A platform summary is a useful cross-check but is not, on its own, the record they ask for. Log the day it happens; reconstructing a year of miles from memory is where deductions get lost or disallowed.
Standard mileage or actual expenses, not both
You either claim the standard rate per mile or you claim your actual vehicle costs — fuel, insurance, repairs, depreciation, lease payments — apportioned to business use. You cannot mix the two for the same vehicle in the same year, and choosing actual costs in the first year restricts your options later.
Standard mileage wins for most drivers of an ordinary, paid-off car. Actual expenses can win for an expensive or heavily depreciating vehicle. Either way, tolls and parking taken while working are deductible on top.
Set tax aside from every payout
Platforms pay you gross. Self-employment tax alone is 15.3% of net earnings, before any income tax, and the IRS expects payment quarterly rather than once in April. Moving a fixed share of every weekly payout into a separate account turns a frightening annual bill into a balance that is already there.
The right share depends on your state and your mileage deduction — heavy mileage can cut taxable income sharply — but somewhere between 20% and 30% of net is a common landing point.
What else counts as an expense
The share of your phone bill used for driving, the mount and charger, water and snacks provided for passengers, car washes and interior cleaning, platform commissions and fees, roadside assistance, and a dash camera are all ordinary and necessary costs of the work.
Keep the receipt or a photo of it against the day it happened. A shoebox in December is a worse record than thirty seconds of phone camera in the moment — and it is the difference between a deduction you can defend and one you quietly drop.
