Does DoorDash track your miles for taxes?

DoorDash does not track its drivers' mileage. However, your DoorDash application may give you an estimate of the miles covered. Even still, the IRS does not accept these figures. However, there are other ways you can monitor your mileage and use the records to receive various tax deductions when filing your taxes.
