Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Technically, any income you earned making deliveries in Detroit is subject to Detroit City Income Tax. 

 

Based on the information you provided, the amount you earned "in Detroit" would be very difficult to calculate. You would need a detailed log showing which deliveries were to Detroit and and what the mileage & other costs for those deliveries were. The net income from those "few" jobs would probably be immaterial (too small to be concerned with).

 

From Detroit City Individual Taxes:
