💬 What real owners actually say
Synthesized from 2026 owner reviews & discussions across social media — the things spec sheets leave out.
Self-employment support. Gig drivers file Schedule C — pick software that handles 1099 and SE tax.
Mileage is your biggest deduction. Track every business mile all year — it usually beats actual expenses.
Value vs hand-holding. FreeTaxUSA is cheap; TurboTax and H&R Block guide you more (for more).
Keep records. Save mileage logs and expense receipts in case of an audit.
Quarterly taxes. Self-employed drivers often owe estimated quarterly taxes — plan ahead.
Each slider sets how much each criterion matters to you (0 = ignore, 10 = critical).
