Mileage tracking
Standard mileage rate for 2025 is 70 cents per business mile. A driver putting 30,000 miles on the car can deduct $21,000 before any other expense. App-based tracking (MileIQ, Stride) creates the contemporaneous log the IRS requires.
Other deductible expenses
Phone (business-use percentage), dashcam, car washes, parking, tolls, snacks for passengers (where applicable), and platform fees all count.
