    *You can claim EVERY MILE you drive...the rate is .65 cents a mile right now...and write off oil changes...tires...etc...BOOM!...brush up on your IRS reimbursements...it's easy!

      unless youre doing this as your full time job and putting a lot of miles on your car, the standard deduction will probably be better.

      @@danielmorris5470 If you only taking the standard deduction...you are either lazy or don't know how to log your mileage.
      Driving a full year for UBER, or heck, even a half a year would well be over the standard deduction write off. Not only would
      you be claiming 67 dollars for every 100 miles driven you can also claim the following:
      Gas
      Repairs, including new tires
      Car insurance
      Limited depreciation or leasing fees
      Tolls
      Parking
      Maintenance fees
      Registration fees
      Garage fees
      Interest portion of car payments
      Lease payments
      I would NEVER recommend the standard deduction unless of coarse your to "afraid" of being audited however, keeping careful logs and spreadsheets for start and
      stop of mileage is crucial to get the maximum tax reimbursement. Driving 20k "work" miles year for UBER or LYFT @ .67 a mile = results in 13.5k tax write off not
      to mention all the goodies I listed above. Perform your due diligence and you'll be surprised how much you get back. Settling for the standard deduction is just plain dumb

    It’s not perfect, and some warehouses only spit out atrocious routes, but the other day I made $200+ in 6.5hours and less than 100miles total

    We are doing flex but the drop are 10 or 15 minutes are and they want u to do 40 stops in 4 hrs and with all the gated communities and the amazon GPS being off it impossible. The good paying routes are taken by the people using bot so thinking about doing it

  • @high4lfye243
    @high4lfye243 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Doesn’t look too bad. I delivery for Amazon and doing 35 stops in 1 hour is typically normal to me. So in a day I can complete 200 stops but only net 150$/day. I think Amazon flex is the better alternative.

    • @bageltv3489

      How many hours a day is that then? Sounds like a lot of work for a car in one day for $150.

    Amazon flex is not a good app anymore the pay is horribly low. When i started base pay was $30hr thats right 90 bucks 3hr route was base and when boosted it was like $120. Now its $66 ya no thx i can do an instacart $60 batch and be done in just over an hour why would i do 3hrs of work for that. Pure trash pay i do a block like once every 6 months just to keep my account active when they have prime day pay or xmas pay.
