I wasn’t tracking my mileage at first. I get so many oil changes I started tracking it that way. Now I will download Everlance after this video. Thanks so much for all you do!

Agreed

Make a video on how do actually use the apps. I search for hours on KZbin and just has people talking about how it works. I want to see it actually be used bro. Lol before I start dashing

[@latoyamcdow128]

Thanks soooo much. I use stride and I love it. I just start and stop when done. I didn't realize you had to wait until you got to the restaurant first. Thanks for all your easy explaining videos that you put out.

[@deadchannelseriouslyitsdea9776]

Haha yeah I didn’t know about the restaurant thing either...*nervously sweats*

[@princeswagger1able]

Right lol I’m gonna go make part of my bedroom into an actual office so I’m not technically committing tax fraud

[@annhayden955]

If you live in a small town like me I turn my app on from home

[@thelasthandbook6704]

It is technically your commute, same as driving from home to a regular job. FWIW and IMO the home office stuff mentioned in the video is pushing it, I'd be careful about claiming you have one unless it is exclusive space. (There ARE some exceptions, but you need to be careful.)

[@davidespino4172]

I use the most simple metod: the mileage on the yearly inspection shows total miles, example 36000 miles difference between each inspection, I deduct the 40% because just restaurant to customer are paid miles, non return to base miles or to house miles this is 14400 miles. 58 cents each mile I deduct $8352 car expenses a year and this cover fuel and maintenance and month payments.

[@halofreak644]

40% 🤣 nice maths

BRUH! Thanks for the 411! Your videos are super informative. I feel you should remind people more often about the importance of deductions for taxes and/or insert a link of this video in your upcoming videos. Keep up the great work 💯💯💯!

[@arelycastillo3743]

Question: you said you can’t start counting miles until you reach the first restaurant. What if your active on the app while you drive to the first restaurant? Then can you count those miles?

[@Relesy]

Can you do a tutorial on how to use Everlance? It confuses me a lot

[@NgJackal1990]

Basically it gives you some 30 free trips to track your vehicle where it goes. And you can choose whether it is for work or for personal use. The. You can choose either options to pay for unlimited trips. Everlance is used when you are ready to file tax with 1099

[@Aqua1-x2i]

Can you do a tutorial on these new shop and pay trips? Like cvs, rite aid, etc... I’m not sure if they’re worth it due to having to pick out each item. Thanks

[@princeswagger1able]

From me experience if the amount is right it is depends on how your day is going though and you MIGHT get confused when a lot of items are out of stock so it definitely has its cons

[@MaynardOwns]

If you know the store and shop fast consider it. If you don’t know the store don’t bother. Worst part is when the store don’t have shit you gots call the customer and deal with that. Sometimes they don’t answer ect. I did one or two and didn’t like it. So far my favorite in store thing is pet smart. The notes are stupid one says you have to shop the other says go straight to online order pick up. It was online order pick up got 8 bucks for 1 mile to customer and I was already on my way back towards my zone so it was like 10 mins a few miles total

[@Aqua1-x2i]

I can't thank you enough for all the help ❤

[@romeosowah]

Do you pay your taxes quarterly or once a year?? Do you use both stride and quick book at the same time? Which one is the best out of the two

[@Cordray04]

I've been using Everlane since August but I didn't know about the stipulation about not starting it until you get to your first restaurant. I set it to automatically start as soon as I left my house so how do I handle this come tax time? I really ask this because I've seriously thought of having my taxes prepared by H&R Block or whoever because I'm petrified I'm going to screw up since I've never done this before.

[@forrestkuester5592]

Same here

[@dedalliance1]

I don't think it really makes. The Government isn't gonna come after you for 20 dollars of deducted mileage that was 'wrong' and worst come to worse if you got audited and they some how found out you were 'lying' you just pay them back. Not a huge deal.

[@brittanymckinley364]

Do you have a computer at home? Then you have a home office. Start it from your house.

I use Gridwise.

[@kikeflores8448]

Thanks for the info. I like the stride app to track mileage, but I don't care for all the ads, for example the company wants to sell us health and dental insurance,and the different items they are making money on. Is there a way of removing all those extra sale ads on the app, and just keep the mileage tracking activity? Thanks

[@TwitchRadio]

Thanks for the advice man.

[@johnnyjr.2619]

Why don't you recommend the gridwise app??

[@Mr-Wade]

Appreciate the video.

[@AmandeepSingh-ft8xz]

Are we tracking dash time mileage or active mileage? Kind of annoying to do active mileage because I have to keep turning trip on and off even while I'm driving most the time..

[@EstevanBonilla]

So you have to end at drop off and re-start every time you get to a restaurant? Or just leave it running?

[@DoordashDiaries]

Leave it running

[@gilmarlopez3590]

Awesome! This is the question I’ve had thank you for the answer

[@moose11vt]

I loved Stride but it's now faulting out. I've tried to resolve the issue but it refuses to begin tracking mileage.

[@shoutingatclouds6841]

We should have a drive per mile tax on all private jet planes, I’ll make the tax on jet planes so high that they’re gonna have to walk there. It sounds like a good way to punish politicians.

[@ronytomano]

I use stride but sometimes i forget to take it off at the end of the day. My question is can I just leave the app on while I’m working and then turn it off at the end of the day or does it have to be turned on and off for each individual delivery? If you can have stride on for the duration of my dash would forgetting to turn it off be a problem because the time is wrong but the miles would not be I have always wondered this I hope you can help

[@joicampbell2063]

So, if you have a room with a computer and printer can that be considered an office?

[@sephorajunkiie239]

No. It needs to be a dedicated office for your business that is not used for any other personal purpose. I have also heard that deducting a home office is a good way to get audited but I have never needed to deduct a home office so I wouldn’t know personally.

[@allygaretzka2323]

EVERLANCE vs STRIDE vs GRIDWISE? Which one is best? Is it recommended to use two for accuracy or? I'm only trying to do Food Deliveries.

[@MrLgarcia97]

Gridwise

[@CryptoMillz]

So as a door dasher you can have a home office correct ? I use my garage to do paper work and document sorting for taxes etc for door dashing does this qualify as a write off ?- Supplies, Laptop, Etc ?

It definitely can

So after we pick up our first order from the very first restaurant that we pick up from, can we keep track of the miles to every restaurant after that?

[@christylee62]

Yes of course, Driving to and from work and also restaurant to restaurant...It all counts

No gridwise?

[@storieswithtutu8579]

Can you give an example the type of expenses that you can count as a doordash driver on your taxes I have a separate phone just for doordash and I've been using the stride app but I cannot feel life of me figure out how to get it to print all the data so that I can use it for my taxes and I was not aware that I could use my insurance and my car payments or major car repairs I just replaced the engine Is that something we can use

[@Tunechi23]

Which app adds all your miles for the day together?

[@teresamurphy6541]

When using a mileage tracking app do you need to put the name of the restaurant your picking up from and the address where you delivered to for each delivery to be IRS compliant??

How do you add stride bank to your mint accout?

[@joeblow1878]

what does dedicated home office mean?

I used to use Stride miles tracker but had issues with the app not working & my mileage stored got lost when I did Lyft. Now I just have log my mileage manually in a small notepad & create a spreadsheet for when tax time comes.

[@ELRICHARD11]

If i have a block for amazon flex, do i start tracking my miles from home or when i get out of where house, to start delivering packages???

[@ken1211]

so i don’t have a home office do i have to track each delivery from when i pick it up and drop it off or can i keep it active from the first restaurant until the end of the dash?

[@forrestkuester5592]

Same thats why I haven't tried dashing yet. Worried about getting the milage tracker right

[@MrLgarcia97]

Keep it active from the time you are active on the gig app till you turn the app off. If you are “willing and available” to take orders you can claim that as business miles.

[@bearbear4389]

Can we count driving to a "hotspot"?

[@PolodeMarko]

I downloaded the money tracker and it works great but the sample money tracker 3.0 has a row to keep track of hours and the blank money tracker I downloaded does not. I'm wondering why that is. Is there an updated one you can send me?
