this is what I found on the web

Yes, delivering for Doordash is self-employment. If you deliver for Doordash in the United States, you do so an an independent contractor. 

There's some controversy around whether Dashers are misclassified, or whether Doordash is illegally using independent contractors. In late 2022, the Department of Labor has proposed a new rule that examines an employment relationship. Doordash would likely fail the test under that new independent contractor rule.

However, all of that controversy has yet to play out. Until then, Doordash Dashers are contractually self-employed.

If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare,  you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.

If you live in a state with a state income tax, you might need to make estimated payments to your state.
