Common Tax Mistakes DoorDash Drivers Make
Tax filing can be complicated, and mistakes can lead to penalties. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:
Failing to report all income: Even if you still need to receive a 1099 form, you must report all your income, including cash tips or payments made outside the DoorDash app.
Only claiming some eligible deductions: Many DoorDash drivers miss out on deductions that could lower their tax liability, such as mileage or phone bills. Be sure to review all possible deductions before filing.
Not making estimated tax payments: If you expect to owe more than $1,000 in taxes, you’ll likely need to make quarterly payments. Failing to do so can result in penalties.
