I am new to uber eat delivering. Ive made maybe $100 so far. What're the tax implications? What should I be aware of? What can I write off as an independent contractor?

Thank you,

Ashley

Hello AJ,

This would be considered self employed income and you would need to report it on a schedule C (self employed income and expenses).

You would report all income made and any expenses you had making that income.

Some expenses are Vehicle mileage, cell phone, warming bags, uniforms etc.

Here are a couple of links with more information

Thank you, that is helpful, but I do need some more clarification. I am working full-time in addition to this side gig of part-time work as an uber eats delivery driver. I am keeping detailed record of everything as best I can. If I decide it isn't for me and I earn less than $400 from it after deducting expenses, do I still need to file independent contractor taxes?

Thanks,

Ashley
