As an independent contractor, you may receive the following tax documents:
To receive a 1099-K, you must have earned more than $20,000 in gross trip earnings and completed more than 200 trips in the past calendar year. However, certain states have implemented lower reporting thresholds, so you may receive a 1099-K for amounts that are below $20,000. Additionally, drivers and delivery people who have backup withholding during the year will receive a 1099-K regardless of any federal or state thresholds.
You will receive a 1099-NEC if you earned at least $600 in non-rider earnings, such as through referrals or on-trip promotions. You may also receive a 1099-MISC form if you earned at least $600 in other income, such as prizes or legal settlements.
If you meet the requirements for any of these tax documents, they will be available on your driver app under Account > Tax Info > Tax Forms tab and on your driver dashboard by January 31, 2023. If you opted to receive a physical copy of your tax documents, you should receive them in the mail after February 1, 2023.
If you don’t qualify for either type of 1099, you’ll still receive an Uber tax summary by January 31, 2023. This tax summary will give you the annual earnings information you need to easily file your taxes.
