The 1099-NEC Revelation

As a DoorDash driver, you'll receive a 1099-NEC form. This form reports your earnings, and you must include it on Schedule C of your tax return.

Mileage: Your Secret Weapon

Track every mile driven for DoorDash, including between deliveries. Use the standard mileage rate for an easy deduction.

Other Deductions

Your cell phone, hot bags, and even a portion of your car insurance are deductible business expenses.

Quarterly Taxes

Set aside 25-30% of each paycheck to avoid a shocking tax bill in April.

The Self-Employment Tax Trap

Beware the additional 15.3% self-employment tax! Quick tip: This covers Social Security and Medicare. Budget for it to avoid surprises.
