You may already know that you need to file taxes if your net income is greater than or equal to $400. What you may not know is that you can lower your tax burden by deducting certain expenses such as mileage.

As a gig driver, you must track every mile you drive to properly calculate how much you can deduct. But most apps like Uber and DoorDash track mileage only when you’re completing a ride or doing a delivery. So the miles you spend driving to hotspots looking for rides or driving back home go completely unnoticed and unaccounted for.

The Gridwise app helps you track those miles so they can be counted toward your deductions.

It’s not uncommon for gig drivers not to know about the different ways to save on taxes. No one can blame them for that. Keeping track and maintaining a file of every expense, in addition to what’s already on their plate, isn’t an easy job.

The solution?

Gridwise’s mileage tracking.

Begin tracking your miles when you start your shift, and your miles and deductibles will be automatically tabulated and calculated.

You may also sign up for Gridwise Tax Help.

Your driver app can scan maps and show you places where the demand is higher than the supply, but you can be missing out on more useful data if you rely only on that information.

Gridwise provides you data that makes driving more profitable by telling you where to drive and when to drive.

Here are some ways to find the busiest neighborhoods in your area:

Where to Drive

The Where to Drive feature shows Gridwise Plus members the best hourly earnings by neighborhoods. Gridwise anonymously collects real-time crowdsourced data and makes it available for drivers in select locations.

You’ll find this information in your Gridwise app’s Insights tab.

By default, you’ll see up to 50 of the top neighborhoods ranked in order. You can also sort the results by distance to check the closest areas.

Airports

You can keep track of airport arrivals and departures with Gridwise. The Airport feature displays peak arrival and departure times, as well as number of passengers and how long you’ll have to wait.

And the best part? 

You don’t have to be at the airport to find this out.

Gridwise gives you 24 hours of airport data, so you can plan your day well in advance and know when it’s worth waiting at the airport or driving by hotels near the airport. 

Also, you can receive alerts if there are fewer drivers available at the airport.
