New to self-employment. Started delivering for Uber Eats in 2023

[ccurry21]

I started delivering for Uber Eats in 2023 and know nothing about paying taxes through self-employment.

Question 1 - Do I need to pay quarterly taxes on this or can I pay a lump sum when I file my return next year? (I’m making an average of $400 a month with that side gig. I also have a full-time job that sends me a W2).

Question 2 - How do I estimate the amount of taxes I owe and begin payments, if needed?

Hi @ccurry21 !

It sounds like you may be covered by your W-2 withholding, but here are some resources you may find useful to calculate whether or not you need to also pay estimated taxes.
