I work for Grubhub, a food delivery service. At what point can I deduct mileage on my deliveries for tax purposes, such as when I am at home but on duty and receive a delivery call? Can I deduct the mileage to the restaurant and back home after completing the delivery?

We received a 1099-K with a large discrepancy between the reported amount and our actual gross sales transactions. The payment gateway provider explained that they used the credit card pre-authorization approval amounts, not the actual captured transaction amounts, to calculate the 1099-K. This practice is causing concern over potential IRS audits. Can the payment service provider legally issue a 1099-K based on pre-authorization amounts instead of actual settled transactions, and what are the implications if this overstated amount leads to an audit?

I paid the IRS and New York state taxes for income they said I received from a vehicle that was repossessed back in 2005. This was taken from my 2015 taxes for the IRS, and then in 2016, the IRS took over $3000 from my taxes for the same vehicle. New York state also claims I owe them over $3000 for the same vehicle. I sent in a copy of the letter I received from the IRS stating they paid New York state what I owed and a copy of the application where I had applied for bankruptcy as they asked for. Even though I submitted all these documents, New York state started to garnish my salary. What do I have to do to recover my money that was taken by the IRS and New York state for the same money that was already paid?

I want to know my total income reported from 1998 to present. I have talked to a tax professional about this, but I am trying to plan for my retirement, so I need to know my total income reported.
