Driving and delivering is a business, and the payouts that hit your account weekly arrive with nothing held back for taxes. Card-paid trips and orders land on a 1099-K at $20,000 and 200-plus rides, bonuses and referrals land on a 1099-NEC at $2,000, and plenty of part-time drivers clear both lines with no form at all while still owing tax on every trip. Mileage, logged at 72.5 cents a mile through June and 76 cents from July 1, is usually the single largest deduction on the return, and the real savings show up once every app you drive or deliver for gets pulled into one picture instead of several separate ones.
Platform-specific guidance
Get guidance for the apps you use.
Each platform handles pay, fees, and tax documents differently. Pick yours for guidance shaped around the way you earn.
Don’t see your platform? You are still in the right place.
If you earn 1099 or other non-W-2 income, the same core tools can help you understand your forms, estimate taxes, and identify potential deductions.
Rideshare & Delivery Tax Basics
When taxes are not taken out, you need a plan.

Multiple apps mean more records
Each app can create separate payout histories, forms, mileage records, and fees.
Quarterly payments may apply
Your overall tax situation may require estimated payments during the year.

A tax professional reviews it
You paid for it. Is it worth a closer look?
Everyday work costs.
Potential write-offs.
Tap a category. See what could be worth reviewing with a tax expert.
Miles & car
Driving for work? Business mileage or eligible vehicle costs may be worth reviewing. Keep a record of business trips.
Business use and documentation matter. Your method and eligibility affect what you can claim.
Platform fees
Service fees, booking fees, and other charges the app takes before you’re paid may be worth reviewing.
Your app’s annual summary usually lists the fees it took, so compare it with your 1099.
Tolls & parking
Tolls on paid trips and parking while you’re working may be worth reviewing.
Keep toll statements and parking receipts. Parking tickets and other fines don’t count.
Phone & data
Your phone runs every trip and every order. The business share of your plan, and of the phone itself, may be worth reviewing.
Only the business-use share may count, so keep a note of how you split personal and work use.
Delivery gear
Insulated bags, coolers, and other gear bought for deliveries may be worth reviewing.
Keep receipts that show the date, the cost, and what each item is used for.
Mounts & chargers
Phone mounts, car chargers, and cables that keep you online during trips may be worth reviewing.
Small purchases add up. Keep receipts even for the inexpensive ones.

Clear answers before you file.
Do I need to report cash tips?
Business income generally includes tips and other payments received for your work, even when they do not appear on a 1099.
Can I deduct mileage and gas?
You generally choose between the standard mileage method and eligible actual vehicle expenses for the same vehicle and period. Keep mileage and expense records before deciding.
What if I drive for several apps?
