Can I write off car payment for DoorDash?


Can I write off car payment for DoorDash? It's possible but you would have to use the car for the sole purpose of Doordash and/or other delivery/ride-sharing platforms. I went down that rabbit hole with my tax guy my first year of Doordashing and he said that it's usually best to just write off your mileage instead of your expenses.


Is paying off a car considered debt?

The auto loan itself would be considered the debt. The payments toward it would be considered debt payments. With regard to your credit report, if you are applying for another loan somewhere and they looked at your debt-to-income ratio, the monthly auto loan payments would be included on the debt side.
