Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends, if you earned $400 or more and that was your only income, then you would still need to file a return to report the money you earned as an independent contractor for Uber. If it was less than $400, and you have no other income, then you would not need to file a return to report less than $400. 

 

If you have other income, you will still need to include the amount earned with Uber regardless of the amount you earned.  When you file a return you must include ALL income from ALL sources.
