As a door dash driver I haven’t saved for taxes. Are there credits and deductions I can use to help with the liability?

Hello!

Yes as a Door Dash driver, there are deductions you can take to offset your income and reduce your taxable income.

 

You would report your 1099 NEC form ( non employee compensation) in the self employed version of Turbotax.

 

Once you indicate what type of business it is, you will be given several categories of expenses which are typical for a food delivery service.

 

I have included a link with more information on Filing Tax Returns for Food Delivery Drivers:
