Solved
Worked as a full time Uber driver the last 9 weeks of 2016. During these weeks I rented a TLC approved vehicle at the rate of $400 weekly. This retal is a cost of doing business rather than income I get to keep so was hoping I could get some help on how and where I would input this information to receive a tax repayment deduction. Thank you
