BLUEBONNET TAX SERVICES LLC
We make complicated stuff easy!
This list is not comprehensive! If you think something should be deductible, let me know what
it is and why you think it should be deductible. I tell all my clients that if you spent money on
something to create a product or service to sell, let me know! If we can, we will write it off.

24A Travel Mileage (This is a frequently audited category for the IRS and they
like excellent records. Many of my clients who started delivery driving this
year didn’t know to keep records, so I can help with that. We can discuss it
when we talk. There is an additional form for mileage on my website.)

work.)

deduction if you are a deliver driver, as long as you pay out of pocket for
health insurance. If it is a policy through another job, there is no deduction.)

Commissions and fees (If you pay a commission to the delivery app you
drive for, or if you get paid through Stripe/Square/PayPal/etc., you can

systems for your car, water and coolers for passenger, etc.)

Cell phone (If you use a separate phone for delivery driving, you can deduct
100% of the cost of the phone and your data plan. If you use one phone for
both work and personal, you’ll need to figure out what percentage is
personal use.)

Tools (Such as a repair kit for your car or a seat cushion to make your drive
more comfortable. Or apps you pay for like MileIQ (the one I recommend to
my clients for mileage tracking).
