Instacart/Shipt Grocery Delivery 1099 FAQ in Houston

instacart employee delivering groceries

What qualifies as a business deduction for Instacart and Shipt?

If you spend your own money on gas, mileage expenses, or your phone bill while on the job for food delivery or grocery services like Instacart or Shipt, you can deduct these expenses at tax time.

For car use, you would either apply the mileage method (57.5 cents per mile in 2020) or the actual expenses method, which requires you to track all expenses including gas, insurance, repairs, maintenance, loan interest, registration costs, and depreciation. For food delivery workers, it’s usually easier to use the mileage method.

For phone bills, you multiply your phone expenses by the percentage you use your phone for food delivery.

 

Do I have to claim cash tips as income?

Yes. The IRS requires that all workers earning tips must keep a daily record of their tips, report tips to their employer (unless less than $20), and report your tips on your tax return using Form 4137

"...made me feel comfortable working with them. A burden has been lifted from my shoulders."

I had ten years of taxes I hadn’t filed. I was really nervous and didn’t know what to do. I checked the IRS website for tips on selecting a company. Instant Tax Solutions had a good rating and made me feel comfortable working with them. A burden has been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you Instant Tax Solutions!

"When all was said and done, they saved me over $100,000."

I owed the IRS $160,000 in back taxes. I had a wage garnishment and my case was assigned to a Revenue Officer. I did not know what to do. Instant Tax Solutions was able to get my garnishment before my next paycheck. When all was said and done, they saved me over $100,000.

"...but your confidence and expert advise eased that feeling"

I’ll admit I was a little reluctant because I didn’t know anything about Instant Tax Solutions, but your confidence and expert advise eased that feeling. Within 24 hours of retaining your services and giving you the requested information my wife’s wage garnishment had been STOPPED. What a relief!

"...you guys were simply great! Can't thank you enough."

This was the free consultation! Instant Tax Solutions spent over half an hour with me during my consultation. I was so impressed that my husband and I decided to sign immediately. From filing my back tax returns to settling my debt to the IRS and state of California, you guys were simply great! Can’t thank you enough. You guys are doing my taxes next year for sure!
