Side Hustle & Gig Income
“What can I deduct from my DoorDash side hustle, and what taxes do I owe?”
DoorDash income is often treated as self-employment income, so the tax picture usually depends on how much you earned, what expenses were tied to the deliveries, and whether you received a Form 1099 or kept your own records. Commonly discussed deductions include mileage or actual vehicle costs, phone use, insulated bags, tolls, parking, and other delivery-related supplies, although the details vary with how the vehicle and equipment were used. The taxes involved can include income tax and self-employment tax, and the final result often depends on total profit, filing status, and other income on the return. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
