Can I use that as gross earnings instead of Lyft's gross earnings in their summary report which include the platform fee, service fee, app fee etc. No, you need to use the amount that Lyft sent you on their summary report.  Then you will report their fees as commissions. This is the amount that they would have reported to the IRS.  If you report a different amount, then this may delay your refund or have the IRS contact you as the numbers wouldn't match.

 

Did they not send you a 1099-NEC? Just the summary report?
