The deductions most doordash drivers miss
1099Guru catches these for you automatically.
Mileage (67¢ / mile in 2024)
Every mile from your home to your first delivery, between deliveries, and back — deductible. A typical 25-hr/week driver leaves $4,000+ on the table by not tracking this.
Phone bill (business %)
The percentage of your phone use that's for dashing is deductible. Most drivers can write off 60–80% of their monthly bill.
Hot bags, car mounts, accessories
Anything you bought to dash — the insulated bag, the phone mount, the car charger — is a 100% deduction.
Tolls and parking
Not covered by the mileage rate. Save the receipts (or screenshots) — they come straight off your taxable income.
Health insurance premiums
If you buy your own health insurance, premiums are deductible above-the-line — even if you don't itemize.
"1099Guru told me I'd been losing $4,200 a year by not tracking miles right. The 'set aside this much per paycheck' number is the only thing I needed."
