What We Handle

Tax Services for Rideshare Drivers

Part-time Uber driver or full-time multi-app gig worker — we cover every tax scenario unique to independent drivers.

🚗
Mileage & Vehicle Deduction Optimization
We compare the standard mileage rate (67¢/mile for 2024) against the actual expense method — gas, insurance, repairs, depreciation — and apply whichever legally reduces your tax bill the most.
🧾
Schedule C & 1099 Filing
We accurately file your Schedule C using all 1099-K and 1099-NEC forms from Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and other platforms — consolidating your gig income into one clean, IRS-compliant return.
💸
Self-Employment Tax Reduction
Gig workers pay 15.3% SE tax on net profit. We implement legal strategies — like S-Corp election for high earners and the SE tax deduction — to reduce what you owe to the IRS.
📅
Quarterly Estimated Tax Planning
We calculate your quarterly estimated payments (April, June, September, January) based on your actual rideshare income and remind you before every IRS deadline so you never face underpayment penalties.
🏢
Entity Structure for Full-Time Drivers
Full-time drivers earning $40K+ may save thousands annually by forming an LLC and electing S-Corp status. We analyze your income and recommend the most tax-efficient structure for your situation.
🛡️
IRS Representation & Back Taxes
If the IRS contacts you about unreported 1099 income or underpaid taxes, our team handles the communication, negotiation, and resolution — so you can keep driving without the stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions
for Rideshare Drivers

We answer the most frequent questions from Uber, Lyft, and gig economy drivers.

Yes. Uber and Lyft drivers are independent contractors, not employees. You receive a 1099-K or 1099-NEC instead of a W-2 and must file Schedule C to report net profit. You're also responsible for self-employment tax (15.3%) on your net earnings. Arrieta Tax specializes in Schedule C filing for rideshare drivers in Queens, NY — ensuring all deductions are claimed to minimize what you owe.

For 2024, the IRS standard mileage rate is 67 cents per mile for business use. Rideshare drivers can choose between the standard mileage method or the actual expense method (gas, insurance, repairs, depreciation). We analyze both options for every client and apply whichever produces the larger deduction. Proper mileage logs are critical — we help you set up a compliant tracking system from day one.

Yes. If you expect to owe $1,000 or more in federal taxes for the year, the IRS requires quarterly estimated payments (due April, June, September, and January). Failing to pay can result in underpayment penalties. Arrieta Tax calculates your estimates based on your actual rideshare income and reminds you before every deadline throughout the year.

Yes. Rideshare drivers can deduct the business-use percentage of their smartphone plan, phone mount, car washes, passenger amenities (water, chargers), tolls, parking fees, and more. If you use your vehicle exclusively for rideshare, many of these deductions apply at 100%. We review every eligible expense to make sure nothing is missed on your return.

Multi-platform gig workers consolidate all 1099 income on Schedule C. The key is accurately tracking income and expenses by platform to avoid IRS discrepancies. Arrieta Tax handles multi-app gig workers regularly — combining all your 1099s into one clean filing that maximizes deductions and minimizes your self-employment tax burden.
