Does Uber track your mileage? Only partially. Uber reports your on-trip miles — the miles driven while a passenger or delivery is in your car — on your tax summary. But that leaves out the miles you drive waiting for requests, driving to pickups, and repositioning, which are all deductible business miles. Uber drivers who only deduct on-trip miles routinely under-claim by 30–40%. A GPS mileage tracker captures every business mile for a complete IRS-compliant log.
Most Uber drivers are missing 30-50% of their deductible miles — and thousands of dollars in tax deductions — because they rely on the Uber mileage summary.
Uber only tracks miles from the moment you accept a ride to when you complete it. Miles driving to pick up the passenger, miles between rides, and repositioning miles to a busier area are all missed.
The IRS requires a mileage log with date, starting location, destination, business purpose, and miles for every trip — recorded at the time of travel. Uber's annual summary doesn't qualify.
A driver doing 50 miles/day who relies on Uber's mileage summary could be missing 15,000+ miles per year. At 72.5¢–76¢/mile that\'s a $10,875+ deduction — gone forever at tax time.
TrakMiles tracks every mile automatically and gives you the IRS-compliant records you need to claim your full deduction.
