As a gig driver, you are considered an independent contractor. This means you do not have taxes withheld by platforms like Uber, Lyft, or DoorDash. You are responsible for paying regular income tax and **FICA Self-Employment Tax** (covering Social Security and Medicare).
Keep Detailed Records
Always log your mileage. If audited, the IRS requires a daily log containing dates, odometer readings, and business purposes. A simple summary is not enough.
Deduct Other Utilities
Don't forget cell phones, music apps for riders, chargers, roadside assistance, and platform fees. They add up to substantial cash savings!
