TurboTax is calculating self employment taxes on $545 at 15.3%. Did she use her own vehicle? She would be able to deduct miles driven at a 57.5 cents per mile. Does DoorDash track the number of miles driven? Could she generate a close estimate? You might be able to get the taxable amount down to 0.00 or at a loss if you add her miles driven to the Sch C. Did she have any other expenses? Hot/Cold bags? PPE? All could be deducted against the DoorDash income on the Sch C and lower her tax bill.
