You need to keep an eye on how it's reimbursed. Also, there's a loophole. For instance, if your wife works for a company that issues you a mileage reimbursement, and you have a side gig driving uber, you can get a reimbursal from the company for mileage THEN deduct the mileage from your taxable income. It's tough to say where those miles came from so proving they were the same miles out of all the non-business miles you're going to drive is impossible. You just need to make sure you're tracking your mileage for every drive. MileIQ is a really good phone app for that. There are others, but that's my favorite.</blockquote>
