What miles does Uber keep track of?

The Uber app attempts to record all your “online miles” — the miles you drive while you have the app open. Uber's in-app tracking won't always tell the full story about your deductible miles. But if you haven't been logging them yourself, you can use Uber and other tools to reconstruct your business miles at tax time.
