Self employed

 

Do you mean that you already e-filed a 2024 tax return with your W-2 income but did not include the Uber income?   If that is what you did, you are going to have to amend your return to include the self-employment income.   That will require you to upgrade to Premium software, so expect to pay the difference between the software fee you paid originally and the fee for Premium.

 

 

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

The rideshare (Uber) income is self-employment income, for which you will owe self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, as well as ordinary income tax.  

 

If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare,  you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.
