One of the fun benefits of being a rideshare driver is you actually can do this! Normally, to be able to claim
car loan
interest, you have to work for yourself and not a larger business. However, thanks to Lyft, Uber, and other rideshare business models, you can claim some of your loan’s interest on taxes!
You’re only eligible to claim a percentage because it must active driving for Lyft. Even if you have a second job and use the car for your commute, that time isn’t eligible.
Keep in mind that there is certain insurance you need as a rideshare driver.
