Uber Driver Tax Relief FAQ

What happens if you don’t report Uber income?

The IRS expects you to report all income over $400 from any given source. Further, most businesses will send a 1099-MISC to contract workers as a form of documentation justifying their wage compensation expenses used to reduce their own net revenues. In other words, someone else will likely report your income, leaving a paper trail to you when you fail to report it.

Failure to report income can result in fines and penalties for your unpaid tax balance. The typical failure-to-file penalty is 5% of the unpaid tax balance, “for each month or part of a month that a tax return is late,” in the IRS’s own words. You will also incur a separate penalty for late payment. “The maximum total penalty for failure to file and pay is 47.5% (22.5% late filing and 25% late payment)” of the total unpaid tax balance.

Additionally, you may be subject to criminal prosecution for tax evasion and other violations. The IRS may seize your property, garnish your wages, or perform other actions needed to recover taxes.

Can Uber drivers deduct mileage between rides?

Yes. Although apps like Uber and Lyft only toll mileage during a trip, the total distance you travel for income-earning purposes can be deducted using the IRS mileage rate. For the 2020 tax season, the deductible rate is 57.5 cents per mile.

Do tips count towards my earned income?

Yes. The IRS expects you to report all tips and consider them as part of your gross income for the purposes of calculating your total tax burden for the year.

"...made me feel comfortable working with them. A burden has been lifted from my shoulders."

I had ten years of taxes I hadn’t filed. I was really nervous and didn’t know what to do. I checked the IRS website for tips on selecting a company. Instant Tax Solutions had a good rating and made me feel comfortable working with them. A burden has been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you Instant Tax Solutions!

"When all was said and done, they saved me over $100,000."

I owed the IRS $160,000 in back taxes. I had a wage garnishment and my case was assigned to a Revenue Officer. I did not know what to do. Instant Tax Solutions was able to get my garnishment before my next paycheck. When all was said and done, they saved me over $100,000.
