Each platform sent me a separate 1099. Do I file separate returns?+
No — gig work is one business. Combine all 1099 income on a single Schedule C. The IRS doesn't require you to split income by platform; only the totals matter.
How do I track miles across multiple gig apps?+
Use a mileage app like MileIQ, Stride, or Hurdlr that tracks all driving and classifies trips business or personal. Pull a single annual report covering all gig work. Each gig app's in-app mileage only counts active platform time and underreports significantly.
I do gig work plus a W-2 job. How does that affect my taxes?+
The W-2 is reported separately on Form 1040 lines 1a-1h. Gig income goes on Schedule C with related SE tax on Schedule SE. Both incomes combine for total tax calculation. Your W-2 withholding may cover some of the SE tax owed on gig income, reducing your underpayment.
How far is your office from Merion Village?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 9 miles from Merion Village — typically a 16-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
Do Merion Village residents owe local city income tax?+
Most Ohio municipalities in Franklin County levy a 1-2% local income tax on residents and on income earned within city limits. We calculate your local tax liability and file the local return alongside your federal and state returns when applicable.
