Seems like those who do weekend driving would be out of a valuable deduction if they couldn’t deduct mileage, right? Can a part time uber driver deduct mileage if usage would be less than 50%? byu/Icy-Roll5013 intax Posted by Icy-Roll5013

chrystalight on April 8, 2026 5:54 pm Deducting actual mileage is completely fine. The 50% rule is related to depreciation of the vehicle, which it doesn’t seem like applies here.
