I drove for both Uber and Lyft. Do I file two Schedule Cs?+
No — rideshare driving is one business. Combine all rideshare income and all rideshare expenses on a single Schedule C. We aggregate 1099s from both platforms onto the same business return.
Lyft tracks my mileage in the app. Is that enough for the IRS?+
Lyft's in-app mileage covers active rideshare miles (passenger in car or en route). The IRS allows you to deduct ALL business miles including driving to a busy area, returning home, etc. — provided you can document them. We recommend a mileage app like MileIQ or Stride for complete records.
Are tips taxable income?+
Yes, tips are taxable. Lyft reports tips on your 1099 along with fares. Cash tips also count as income even if not on the 1099 — keep records.
How far is your office from Bexley?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 7 miles from Bexley — typically a 14-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 Bexley residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Bexley City Schools boundary, you may owe Ohio school district income tax on top of federal and Ohio IT-1040 state tax. The SD-100 return is filed alongside your Ohio return. We handle all three (federal, state, school district) as part of standard tax preparation.
