Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I’m driving for Uber as a side hustle, what tax deductions apply and what do I owe?”
Uber driving income often brings up a mix of self-employment tax, income tax, and vehicle expense tracking, and the answer usually depends on how the work is reported, how many miles are logged, and whether actual car costs or a mileage-based method is used. Other factors that commonly matter include phone expenses, tolls, parking, and any platform fees or commissions. Recordkeeping is especially important because rideshare income can involve both personal and business use of the same vehicle, and the tax treatment often changes with the way expenses are documented and the overall profit or loss from the side hustle. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
