Income Tax Guide for Rideshare and Contract Delivery Drivers

Book excerpt: Third Millennium Tax's "Income Tax Guide for Rideshare and Contract Delivery Drivers" is the first guide to offer a comprehensive, nuts and bolts overview of the income tax issues facing rideshare and contract delivery drivers. There are a number of very important decisions that need to be made at tax time -- for example, should you claim Actual Car Expenses, or the Standard Mileage Rate? Making an informed decision on this issue, alone, is absolutely critical. There's a lot of confusion about what expenses can be deducted on a rideshare return. The author, an attorney and longtime IRS Revenue Officer and Tax Analyst, points you in the right direction. He examines more than 60 different expenses that you might incur, and explains whether an expense is deductible; how much of the expense is deductible; and, where to claim it if it is deductible. The author has also included an invaluable section on tax credits related to rideshare and contract delivery, tips on preparing Schedules C and SE, and suggestions for business record-keeping.
