Gig worker taxes

Taxes for Uber, Lyft, and other independent contractors

App-based work can make filing more complicated than a standard W-2. AVM helps gig workers sort through mileage, expenses, deductions, and self-employment income.

Why gig taxes feel different

Uber drivers, Lyft drivers, delivery workers, and other independent contractors are typically not treated like traditional employees at tax time. Income can arrive from multiple platforms. Expenses sit in apps, bank statements, and mileage logs. And self-employment tax is often new territory.

AVM has five years of tax preparation experience working with these situations. We will not promise a specific refund. We will take the time to prepare a detailed return based on your records and the credits and deductions you may legally qualify for.

Mileage

If you drive for work, miles can be a major part of your tax picture. Keeping usable records matters. AVM can help you understand what to gather and how it fits into the return.

Expenses and deductions

Phone, supplies, platform fees, and other ordinary expenses may be relevant depending on your facts. We look for what you may legally qualify for — not for deductions that do not belong.

Self-employment income

Gig income is often reported on 1099s and treated as self-employment income. That can mean extra forms and self-employment tax. AVM prepares those returns with that structure in mind.

Mixed W-2 and gig work

Many clients have a regular job and drive or deliver on the side. Those returns need both pieces handled clearly so nothing important is left out.
