Side Hustle & Gig Income

“What should I deduct from my Uber side hustle, and what taxes will I owe?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Uber side hustle tax treatment often depends on how the driving is done, whether the work is reported as self-employment income, and what records are kept for mileage, gas, repairs, phone use, tolls, parking, and other vehicle costs. In many cases, the main tax picture also includes both income tax and self-employment tax, along with any state tax that may apply. If the driver also receives 1099 forms, uses the car for personal trips, or has mixed-use expenses, those details can affect which deductions are available and how the return is prepared. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
