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.
