Uber, DoorDash, Instacart — your tax specialist.
Drive for two apps, deliver for a third? We aggregate the 1099s, file the right Schedule C, and set the quarterly estimateds so April isn't a surprise.
Most gig workers under-withhold by thousands. The platforms don't withhold federal tax — that's on you. Skip the quarterlies, and the IRS adds an underpayment penalty on top of what you already owe.
How we fix it.
App aggregation
We pull 1099-NECs and 1099-Ks from every platform you drove or delivered for, plus any cash side work, into a single Schedule C.
Mileage vs. actual
We compute both methods and pick the higher deduction. Most gig drivers come out ahead on mileage; some don't. We check.
Quarterly estimateds
A four-payment plan sized to your real income. Adjusted mid-year when miles or earnings shift.
Filed return
Schedule C, Schedule SE, state return. Audit-ready records held on the portal.
Why us for gig workers.
IRS Enrolled Agent, enrolled to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states, alongside CPAs and attorneys.
Finance training: the math behind every recommendation we make. Currently in law school.
Multi-platform 1099 aggregation.
Driving for Uber, delivering for DoorDash, and doing weekend Shipt runs means three 1099s, three earnings dashboards, three different fee structures. We tie them all to one P&L.
Mileage vs. actual — the deduction nobody tracks.
The 2026 standard mileage rate is the easy win, but only if you have a contemporaneous log. App-based mileage exports (Stride, MileIQ, Gridwise) qualify; we set them up if you don't have one.
Quarterly estimateds, sized to gig income.
The IRS expects you to pay-as-you-go. With seasonal gig income (food delivery jumps in winter, rideshare in summer events), the safe-harbor formula needs to flex. We adjust per quarter.
Pricing, on the page.
Published prices · Quoted in writing before any work startsHow it works: one annual fee, half paid at engagement and half before your return is filed. Everything past the package baseline is a published add-on at a fixed price, so nobody counts forms. Books, payroll and sales tax are the only monthly items, because they are the only monthly work. See the full grid and every add-on or get your price in a minute.
One practitioner. Every file, personally led.
Cody is an IRS Enrolled Agent with an MBA — a solo practitioner with a small support team, working out of Lakeland, Florida. He is also currently in law school.
Every client engagement is led by Cody personally. The firm stays deliberately small so the work stays deliberately careful — and so when the IRS calls, the person who picks up is the person who filed your return.
Common questions.
If yours isn't here, ask it on the intake — we read every one before the first call.
Do I really need to file quarterly?
If you'll owe more than $1,000 at tax time, yes — or you'll get an underpayment penalty. For most full-time gig workers, that's everyone.
Standard mileage or actual expenses?
Whichever is bigger. Mileage is simpler and usually wins for high-mileage drivers. Actual wins for expensive vehicles or low-mileage situations. We compute both.
I didn't track mileage. Can I still deduct?
Yes — we reconstruct from app trip histories, calendar entries, and bank/card records. Less ideal than a real log, but defensible.
Should I form an LLC?
Usually not for the tax savings. Sometimes for liability — depends on your state and the apps you drive for. We talk through it.
What about my W-2 job?
No problem. We file the combined return; the W-2 income and withholding fold into the same 1040.
How do I report cash tips?
On Schedule C with the rest of the income. Cash tips are reportable; the platforms reporting your card tips do not report cash tips.
