Tax Season Made Easy for Drivers & Owner-Operators!

Introduction: Your Road to Stress-Free Tax Filing

If you’re a Taxi Driver, Uber Driver, Uber Eats, Skip the Dishes, DoorDash courier, or Owner-Operator, tax season may feel overwhelming. Between keeping up with rides, deliveries, fuel, and maintenance, taxes often become an added stress you’d rather avoid.

The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone. Go Get Tax Services is here to simplify the process, helping you file your taxes with confidence while maximizing your refunds and claiming ALL your eligible deductions.

Let’s make tax season stress-free, so you can stay on the road and keep your earnings where they belong – in your pocket. 🚗💼

Why Self-Employed Drivers Need Specialized Tax Help

As a self-employed driver or independent owner-operator, you’re not just a worker – you’re your own business. That means you have the opportunity to reduce your taxable income by claiming a variety of expenses that traditional employees cannot.

However, the challenge lies in tracking, understanding, and correctly claiming those deductions. Missed claims or errors can lead to lost refunds or, worse, penalties.

At Go Get Tax Services, we specialize in Personal Tax Filing (T1) for:

  • Ride-share drivers: Uber, Lyft
  • Food delivery drivers: Uber Eats, DoorDash, Skip the Dishes
  • Taxi drivers
  • Owner-Operators in the trucking industry 🚚

Our experience allows us to tailor your tax filing to your unique work setup. We ensure you’re not missing deductions, overpaying taxes, or falling behind on deadlines.

Key Tax Deductions for Drivers and Owner-Operators 🚖💰

One of the biggest benefits of being self-employed is that you can claim a wide range of expenses to reduce your taxable income. These deductions add up to significant savings, but only if filed correctly.

Here’s a list of key deductions you may be eligible for:

1. Vehicle Expenses 🚗

As a driver, your vehicle is your most important asset, and many expenses associated with it are deductible:

  • Fuel (Gas/Diesel)
  • Vehicle Maintenance & Repairs: Oil changes, tire replacements, brakes, and more.
  • Insurance Premiums
  • Lease Payments or Vehicle Depreciation: Depending on whether you own or lease your vehicle.
  • Car Washes and Detailing Services

Tip: Keep track of your receipts and log all expenses. Apps or spreadsheets can help with this.

2. Mileage and Distance Traveled 📊

If you’re using your personal vehicle for work, you can claim business mileage. Maintaining a mileage log is crucial – it helps differentiate between personal and work travel.

For ride-share and delivery drivers, your platform often provides a summary of total kilometers traveled for deliveries or rides.

3. Platform Fees and Commissions 💻

Ride-share and delivery platforms charge fees for their services. These commissions are 100% deductible and help reduce your taxable income.

For example:

  • Uber charges a percentage of each fare.
  • Skip the Dishes or DoorDash may charge a service fee for access to their platforms.

These costs may seem small per trip but add up over time. Failing to include them means missing out on valuable deductions!

4. Cell Phone & Data Plans 📱

If you use your smartphone to manage your rides or deliveries, a portion of your phone and data bill is deductible. This includes:

  • Phone plan costs
  • Data used for navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze
  • Hardware costs if you purchase a phone or accessories specifically for work

Tip: If you use your phone for both personal and business use, calculate the percentage of work-related use to determine your deduction.

5. Work-Related Supplies 🛠️

Depending on your role, you may also incur costs for additional supplies, such as:

  • GPS devices
  • Dash cameras (dashcams) for safety
  • Cleaning supplies for your vehicle
  • Equipment like delivery bags for food couriers

Every little expense can contribute to a larger deduction, so track these purchases carefully.

6. Licensing and Registration Fees 📄

To operate as a professional driver, you likely pay licensing, registration, or professional association fees. These costs are fully deductible as business expenses.

For example:

  • Taxi or commercial vehicle licensing fees
  • Business permits required by the city or platform

7. Parking and Tolls 🅿️

Do you pay for parking at airports, restaurants, or delivery locations? Do you incur toll charges during your trips? These expenses are also deductible.

Tip: Keep receipts for parking fees and record toll charges in a log or app.

8. Interest on Vehicle Loans 💳

If you took out a loan to purchase a work vehicle, the interest on that loan is deductible as a business expense.
