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?

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!

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?

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!
