Self-Employed for Uber Eats

Do I need to file for taxes if I did Uber Eats, did not receive 1099 forms, and made $533 for 2 months?

By law, you are required to report all of your income, not just the income reported on a 1099 or W-2. However, if that is your only income, and you have $133 of expenses related to your work for Uber Eats then you aren't required to file a tax return, as your self-employment income would be $400 or less.

Hi David,

That is my only income. Throughout the time I received money from Uber Eats, I only received $533 in 2 months.

If you drove your vehicle at least 200 miles for Uber Eats you would have $134 of automobile expense and your net income would be $399. Since your self-employment income is less than $400 you wouldn't owe any self-employment tax and your overall income is well below the filing threshold, so you don't need to file a tax return.
