How do taxes work as a driver?

When you drive with Uber, you're an independent contractor. Similar to a small business owner, you'll need to report your income for the year and pay applicable taxes.

We'll provide you with a Tax Summary that includes information you need to know to complete your taxes, including a detailed breakdown of your earnings as well as some business-related expenses that may be deductible.
