[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had a side gig for years. No one forced me to choose to deliver flowers by gig rather than getting a full-time job at a flower shop.

It’s a choice. Of course I’m not dependent on it and my main job pays my mortgage so it’s all about how you position yourself.[/quote]

I agree. I work for Uber part-time. It’s awesome to make money whenever and wherever I want to with no boss telling me what to do. I think ita makes compete sense for gig workers to be independent contractors. Btw the tax writeoffs are an absolute JOKE compared to what I used to file with just my W2 job.
I pay barely any taxes on my Uber income despite making decent earnings at my W2 job. I write off all of the mileage, part of my cell phone bills, registration, taxes, etc. [/quote]

You're not allowed to write any of that off your taxes unless you use your car and cell phone exclusively for work. Otherwise you are cheating.[/quote]

That is absolutely not true. I am fully allowed to deduct the miles I use driving for Uber. I separate them from my personal miles and everything is tracked/logged. I am also able to deduct the other expenses based on the percentage I use them for my business. [/quote]
