Uber Driver Tax Preparation in Springfield, OH
Uber drivers in Springfield are 1099 contractors, not employees — which means you file Schedule C, pay self-employment tax, and (here's the good part) you can deduct every business mile driven. The IRS standard mileage rate for 2024 is 67¢/mile. A driver doing 30,000 miles for Uber can deduct $20,100 — often more than they made in tips. We specialize in rideshare returns and know exactly which expenses Uber drivers miss.

Should I use the standard mileage rate or actual expenses?+
Most Uber drivers come out ahead with the standard mileage rate (67¢/mile for 2024). Actual expenses (depreciation, gas, insurance, repairs, lease payments × business use percentage) only beats mileage if your car is newer/expensive or you drive low miles. We calculate both methods.
My Uber 1099-K shows more income than I actually got. Why?+
Uber's 1099-K reports gross fares including Uber's commission, fees, and tolls — not what you actually received. You then deduct Uber's service fee and other charges as expenses to arrive at your actual net income. We use the Uber annual tax summary to reconcile this correctly.
Do I need to pay quarterly taxes as an Uber driver?+
If you drive part-time and the SE tax + income tax owed at year-end is under $1,000, no. Full-time Uber drivers almost always need quarterly estimates. We calculate next year's quarterly payments based on this year's actual results.
How far is your office from Springfield?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 45 miles from Springfield — typically a 55-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 Springfield residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Springfield 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.
