Door Dash

[Robert3221984]

I started Door Dash 2021, made about $400.00 so I am assuming I wont get a 1099. DO I claim this on 2021 taxes and do I need to deduct business expense?

[RBBrittain]

The proper, legal answer is to report ALL income whether it's on a 1099 or not.

Income on a 1099-NEC (replacing the 1099-MISC for most "gig economy" income) usually goes on Schedule C; you would deduct your business expenses on that form. However, that may require you to use a different edition of TurboTax.

If I wont receive a 1099 nec for 2021 because it is under $400.00 do I start paying quarter taxes in April. I just started this Door Dash in Dec 2021.

You report the income you received in cash, checks or bank transfers or without a 1099-NEC as self-employed income under Other self-employed income.

• In business income, just under Type of Income, click on Add Income for this work
• On the next page, click on the radio button next to Other Self-employed Income
• lick Continue to enter your income received in cash, checks or bank transfers.

If you have expenses related to this business, you can deduct them.

To report your DoorDash business income and expenses, you'll need to use TurboTax Self-Employed (Online) or TurboTax Home and Business (CD/Download).
