Side Hustle & Gig Income

“I’m doing Airbnb driving as a side hustle, what can I deduct and what’s owed?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Side hustle driving income often has a mix of income reporting and expense tracking questions, and the answer usually depends on how the work is set up, whether the vehicle is used only for the gig or also for personal trips, and what records are kept for miles, fuel, repairs, insurance, and platform fees. In many cases, gross earnings are reported first, then allowable business expenses are considered to help determine the taxable amount. The treatment can also vary based on whether the driving is done as an independent contractor and whether any local or state taxes apply. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
