Plan for the tax bill

Possible deductions you could write off
Every order takes effort.
Some of it is deductible.
From the miles between stores to the coolers in your trunk,
shopping for members comes with costs worth reviewing.
Insulated bags and coolers
Coolers and insulated bags that keep a member's cold items cold may be deductible equipment.
Phone and data
Your phone handles the Shipt app, substitutions, and directions. Track the share of the device and plan used for orders.
Parking while you shop
Paid parking at stores or near a member's building is worth recording when it's for an order.
Carts and shopping supplies
A folding cart, sturdy bags, or other supplies you buy to carry orders may count as business costs.
Chargers and mounts
A car charger and phone mount keep the Shopper app charged and in view. Their business-use share may qualify.

How the estimate works and what it leaves out
The benchmark uses the midpoint of the category ranges supplied for this calculator. The featured expense gap is the benchmark minus entered review amounts, floored at zero. It is an illustrative comparison, not tax savings or proof that any additional costs exist. These are product assumptions, not IRS expense averages for individual occupations. A zero gap does not mean you have no deductible expenses.
The two supporting federal savings examples compare simplified 2026 federal income and self-employment tax before and after a hypothetical additional expense amount. That amount is the smaller of the remaining expense gap, 10% of gross 1099 income, and positive business profit after entered review amounts. Entered amounts are treated as qualifying solely for this illustration. The model uses the standard deduction, 2026 brackets, 92.35% net self-employment earnings, the 2026 Social Security wage base, Medicare tax, and a simplified additional Medicare tax. The two outcomes use a basic 20% qualified business income assumption and no QBI assumption. They are not bounds on actual savings. Your W-2 amount is treated as an approximation of both income-tax wages and Social Security wages; if those amounts differ, the result will change. For joint filers, the spouse W-2 amount affects household income tax and the additional Medicare threshold, but does not reduce your personal Social Security wage base.
This is not a full tax return. It does not calculate itemized deductions, credits, other income, the detailed qualified business income limits, alternative minimum tax, state tax, payroll details, business entity choice, or every special tax rule. Checked ideas without entered amounts do not affect the calculation. Entered costs still require documentation and eligibility review. Vehicle mileage and actual vehicle costs for the same vehicle cannot simply be added together. Some rental activity belongs on Schedule E and may not be subject to self-employment tax.

Questions Shipt shoppers ask
Shipt taxes,
neatly unpacked.
Your orders, your tips,
and the miles to every member.
Where do I get my Shipt 1099?
Shipt delivers 1099-NEC forms through Stripe Express. Accept the invite Stripe emails you, consent to electronic delivery, then download the form from the Tax Forms page, usually by January 31.
What is the Shipt End of Year Statement?
It's a summary of your year that every shopper can download from Payment history in the Shopper app, whether or not you get a 1099. It lists your earnings and your tips separately, which helps when you reconcile your income.
Do I owe tax on Shipt income without a 1099?
Yes. Income from shopping is taxable whether or not a form is issued. Your End of Year Statement and payment history are the records to report from.
Can I deduct the miles I drive to members' homes?
Driving you do for orders may be deductible, using the standard mileage rate or your actual car costs. Keep a log that separates order trips from personal driving.
Can 1099vibe help if I shop for Shipt and other apps?
Yes. Shipt and any other shopping, delivery, or rideshare work can be organized together, so your mileage and set-asides cover every app you use.
