Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I drive for DoorDash on the side, what can I deduct and what do I owe?”
DoorDash income is often treated as self-employment income, so the tax picture usually depends on your net earnings, mileage and vehicle records, and any platform fees or supplies tied to the work. Commonly discussed deductions include business use of a car, phone use, hot bags, parking, tolls, and certain delivery-related expenses, but the details can vary based on how the costs were tracked and whether they were personal or business. What is owed can also depend on other income, withholding, and whether estimated tax payments were made during the year. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
