Can you combine UberEats/DoorDash/GrubHub income data all under the same Schedule C for delivery and mystery shopping?

Married filing jointly, both of us have W-2 day jobs, do DoorDash/UberEats/GrubHub/MarketForce  on the side.  Do we combine all the 1099-MISC/1099-NEC together under our respective schedule C's or hwhat is the proper process when having multiple 1099s?

Hi, @fsewald ! As a general rule, UberEats, DoorDash, and GrubHub are similar enough lines of work that they can generally be reported on one Schedule C as "delivery driving". However, MarketForce/mystery shopping sounds like it would be a separate line of business to me. Make sense? 

[fsewald]

So it sounds like maybe two schedule C's for me and one for husband? 

Any other way to combine all the side income into one bucket? 

Thanks!

Not really, as I say only similar lines of work can be combined. I don't see a way that mystery shopping and delivery driving could be considered "the same thing". Hope this helps!
