Gig worker tax help

Tax preparation for Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, and 1099 workers.

Gig workers are usually treated as self-employed, which means Schedule C income, business deductions, and self-employment tax may apply.

Why gig taxes are different

1099 workers may need Schedule C, mileage records, expense tracking, and a self-employment tax calculation.

Common deductions

Mileage, phone use, platform fees, supplies, tolls, parking, car washes, and other ordinary business expenses may matter.

Documents to gather

1099 forms, platform annual summaries, mileage logs, expense summaries, receipts totals, and last year's tax return.

Avoid common gig worker tax mistakes

Missing income

Income from multiple apps and platforms can be easy to overlook. Gather every 1099 and annual platform summary.

Weak mileage records

Mileage deductions need support. Upload mileage logs or summaries if you tracked business miles.

Ignoring estimated taxes

Some self-employed clients may need quarterly estimated tax planning to avoid surprises.

Mixing personal and business expenses

Clean summaries help separate deductible business activity from personal spending.
