GoPuff delivery partners are contractors — the miles between the fulfillment center and customers add up fast.
GoPuff delivery drivers are independent contractors paid on a 1099-NEC, so net earnings go on Schedule C and are subject to self-employment tax.
You typically pick up from a GoPuff facility and run multiple drops, so mileage from the facility through each delivery and back into the queue is deductible business driving.
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 shifts (or actual vehicle costs), insulated bags for cold and frozen items, phone, car mount, and data plan for the driver app, tolls and parking incurred during deliveries, 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.
