I just made it past 20,000 deliveries as a full-time Dasher! Now, are there any rewards / bonuses for hitting such a significant milestone?

Not OP.

I have 2 schedules: 35 hour works are about 800

50-55 is 1200

I use an Altima that I put back together cheaply and I do thr work myself.

I paid about $600 on federal taxes for 18k last year (part time)

I made about the same last year. After mileage deductions (10,150~ miles roughly) the taxable income was only like 8800 dollars. I drive a Honda insight so I get 40+ mpg and total expenses last year for gas, maintenance, car washes, and cleaning supplies was approximately 1,800 for the whole year. I made about 1k extra in cash tips throughout the whole year through as well that wasn't claimed. So still a net profit of about 16,000 dollars for about 800 hours of work for the year. I kept a tracker of my mileage, expenses, and how many hours I worked in an Excel spreadsheet.

It's not as terrible as most people make it out to be. While it wasn't life changing money it let me save up quite a bit more on top of my regular day job.

Its so crazy seeing people you lose money doing DD.

Yes, if you have a brand new car with an 800 payment and depreciation hits hard.

The biggest thing I learned was being selective on the times I dashed. 11AM on a Tuesday is dead so better to work more on a Friday and not burn myself out.

Exactly, I stopped trying to dash any earlier than 4pm on weekdays unless it was a federal holiday. At least for my zone almost no orders come in till the diner rush most weekdays. And I always usually stop by about 9pm on any day of the week. Mostly because almost every restaurant is closed by then except McDonald's and taco bell. And it ain't worth sitting in those lobbies with the other 10+ Dashers/Uber eats people trying to take orders. And usually I would dash on weekends for a majority of my pay.

How do you deduct for miles? Actually, how should I file for dash, period😂?

[–]Xatamos 2 points  

They will send a 1099 for earned income made through DD. Fortunately the 1099 will be accurate unlike uber/Lyft 1099's if you do ride share. When I open DD I reset the mileage trip odometer to 0 and at the end of a dash take a picture. I'll take that mileage and track it in an Excel spreadsheet for total mileage driven. All mileage driven while dashing can be accounted for as deductible. Last year was 67 cents per mile, this year is 70 cents per mile. If you file through TurboTax or some other e file system it will usually ask if you had any business miles driven on your vehicle. I personally use a tax preparation agency because my taxes are really complicated. I have rental properties, eBay reselling, an LLC for homesteading (selling chicken, livestock, soap, and a bunch of other stuff), along with having to file 5 state returns for 5 separate states.

You cannot deduct mileage for personal use, etc so don't bother taking a pic of the odometer at the beginning of the year and just subtracting the end of year mileage. It's a huge red flag for an audit if you only earned say 10k but your trying to deduct 20,000 + miles. As a gig worker it's the only way to make sure you pay as little as possible back for your state/federal returns if you end up owing anything at all.

Where do I find the mileage trip odometer?

[–]Xatamos 1 point  

Usually there's either a stick in the center of your dash for older vehicles to switch from your odometer to your trip odometer or in newer model cars there is just a trip button. You usually reset the trip odometer by holding the button till it resets to 0. I've heard some people use an app like ever Lance to track milage. Basically anytime you start dashing just turn on the app and hit go, then when you stop for the day hit the stop button and it should give you mileage based on GPS

You get a random account suspension for a single CV that was beyond your control. Denied appeal, no explanation.

Anxiety from driving

How is shopping broken out from regular deliveries? Never seen that. They must have 20 different versions of their app, and all of them riddled with bugs.
