Amazon Flex blocks are self-employment — your own vehicle and miles are deductible, not Amazon's.
Amazon Flex drivers are independent contractors using their personal vehicles, so earnings come on a 1099-NEC and net profit goes on Schedule C subject to self-employment tax.
You use your own car, gas, and phone for blocks, which means the vehicle and app costs of doing the route are yours to deduct.
Income you’ll report on: 1099-NEC.
Most people in this line of work leave money on the table. Here's what we make sure to capture:
If you earn as an independent contractor, yes — self-employment tax is 15.3% (Social Security and Medicare) on your net profit, on top of regular income tax. You deduct half of it, and every business deduction lowers what you owe. We handle the calculation on Schedule SE.
Common write-offs include standard mileage for delivery blocks (or actual vehicle costs), phone and data plan used for the flex app and scanning, cargo organizers, dollies, and hand trucks for packages, tolls and parking during routes, plus a share of your phone and any home-office use. We go through your year line by line so nothing legitimate gets missed.
If you expect to owe $1,000 or more for the year, the IRS generally wants quarterly estimated payments to avoid an underpayment penalty. We calculate them so next April isn't a surprise.
Yes. Your income is taxable whether or not a client or platform sent a 1099. We report it correctly and offset it with every deduction you qualify for.
