Solopreneurs: Rideshare, taxi and limo drivers

A third of your miles are driven between rides, and nobody pays for them.

Backbuild Miles captures every drive, the empty ones too, and Backbuild Finances shows your profit after the mileage deduction and the costs you record.

On the web and the desktop app, with Miles on your phone.

Every business trip posts to your books as a deductible expense.

01The problem

About a third of my miles are driven between a drop-off and the next pickup, unpaid.

How Backbuild solves it

Empty miles still count at tax time.

Backbuild Miles captures every drive on your phone and suggests a classification from your working hours. You confirm it, and the miles between rides join your log as business miles.

The empty miles, on the books.

You check what they add up to at any time.

  1. You head back from a drop-off.
  2. You mark the drive as business.
  3. Your bookkeeper worker posts the trip to your books.
  4. You check your deduction so far.

The outcome

Every work mile is on record.

Your reports show the business miles and the deduction they add up to.

02The problem

Without tracking every mile and expense, I think I make more than I really do.

How Backbuild solves it

See your profit after the costs you record.

Log tolls, parking and your phone bill in Backbuild Finances as you pay, receipt attached. Business trips post there as the standard mileage deduction, and your profit and loss takes both from your income.

Your profit, after the deductions.

You read the profit after the costs you record.

  1. You log an airport parking fee as you pay.
  2. Your bookkeeper worker files it in your books.
  3. You read the profit after the costs you record.

The outcome

A profit figure from your own records.

Your recorded costs and the mileage deduction sit beside your income in one report.
