1 How to Use Your Lyft 1099: Tax Help for Lyft Drivers OVERVIEW Whether you drive for Lyft full-time or part-time, you re now enjoying the pay, perks, and prerogatives of being self-employed from setting your own hours to building customer relations. With the onset of tax season, you face a new business challenge: filing your taxes in a way that minimizes your tax liability. Follow these tips on how to use your Lyft 1099 to complete your tax return and maximize your tax deductions. Two kinds of 1099 tax forms Since you are in business for yourself and not an employee of Lyft, you will not receive a W-2 wage and tax statement from the ridesharing company. Instead, you ll probably receive one or more 1099s, depending on how much you earned from certain services. Here are the forms you are likely to receive and the IRS requirements for issuing them: A 1099-K If you generated more than $600 in gross ride receipts from passengers in the last year A 1099-MISC if you received more than $600 in miscellaneous income (e.g. new city bonuses, mentoring, referral fees) Lyft will issue a 1099-K even if you do not reach the IRS' threshold of $20,000 in gross ride receipts as long as you go over $600. Keep in mind, you are responsible for reporting all the income you earn, whether you receive a 1099 or not. For example, if you earned $400 in referral fees, you must report that income, even if you didn t receive a 1099-MISC. You can always see exactly how much you earned in driving and miscellaneous income on your Lyft Driver Dashboard. Many new Lyft drivers have the misconception that they only need to report income reported on a This isn t true; all income must be reported. Failing to report your income can cause tax problems down the road. The IRS can audit your taxes going back three tax years (or six years if the IRS finds you have underreported your income by 25%). If you report both driving and miscellaneous income next year, but only report driving income this year, that might raise a red flag for the IRS. Reading your 1099s Your 1099s include many boxes, but you usually only need to be concerned with one box on each form: Box 1a on 1099-K Box 7 on 1099-MISC These report your gross earnings in each category
2 You might notice that the amount in Box 1a of 1099-K is larger than the total amount you actually got paid. This is not an error. The figure on the form reflects the total amount your customers paid, - 2 -
3 including the Lyft commission. Don t worry, generally you can deduct the Lyft fee from your income as a business expense. The Lyft commission is included on your Yearly Stats sheet: In the example above, Lyft even does the math for you, so you can easily see your total ride earnings. Your Yearly Stats sheet also includes your non-ride earnings. In the example above, the non-ride earnings did not reach the threshold for the issuance of a 1099-MISC. Nevertheless, the driver is responsible for reporting this amount to the IRS
4 How and where to report your Lyft income As a business owner, you ll calculate your ridesharing earnings on Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business. The total of your driving and miscellaneous income goes on line 1. You ll also list your business expenses on Schedule C. You ll subtract your expenses from your income to find the net profit or (loss) from your business and enter that figure on line 31 of Schedule C. Your business expenses will reduce your income and your tax liability. The example above shows how you ll enter the Lyft commission on line 10, commissions and fees. The Lyft Yearly Stats sheet also reports your trip miles, which might only be a portion of your business miles. The example below shows how you ll enter your total business mileage on line 44a of Schedule C. These miles are the starting point for calculating your car or truck expenses, which you will report on line 9 of Schedule C
5 You ll use Schedule C to deduct all your business expenses and calculate your business profit. You ll then report your business profit to the IRS in two places: Form 1040, your personal tax form, where you will enter the income you earned from all sources: W-2/employee work, other self-employment, unemployment, etc. Schedule SE, if your total business income was $400 or more, for calculating self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare) 1099 FAQs Do I need to complete separate Schedule Cs or SEs for the 1099-K and 1099-MISC? No. You can combine the income from both 1099s on one Schedule C, since both forms relate to the same business. In fact, you can include the income from any other driving services you may have provided on the same Schedule C. If you earn self-employment income from other types of businesses, you ll need to complete a separate Schedule C for each business you run. For example, if you operate a Homejoy cleaning services business, you ll complete a separate Schedule C for it. To report all your annual income, - 5 -
6 you ll need to total up all the profit from your Schedule Cs and use this number on both Form 1040 and Schedule SE. What mileage can I claim as a business expense for my Lyft driving? Lyft s Yearly Stats sheet and your Driver Dashboard both show the miles you accumulated for trip miles. You generally can report all this mileage, because you were working at the time. You might be able to deduct additional mileage if you can show that it was related to your business. To claim non-trip business miles, you must have detailed records of each trip, including its purpose. Why are there two 1099s for my ridesharing business? The rules for the issuance of forms 1099-K and 1099-MISC are spelled out by the U.S. tax code. Lyft provides both to be in full compliance with IRS rules. Do I send my 1099s to the government along with my tax return? No. Forms 1099 are not returned with your tax return. Use them to calculate your gross income and then keep them for your records. If you didn t receive one or both 1099s, report the income from your Driver Dashboard and take a screen shot or print out the page for your records. What else can I do to reduce my tax bill?
