I assume they get a 1099 for the fares they collect but they are still not paying the local hack taxes. At least that is the complaint. "Gypsy cabs" have always operated in NYC, pretty much with impunity. |

It might even be easier with Uber since there are electronic records of every fare tied back to the driver. It was in the paper today that Florida is going to call Uber drivers "contractors". That will remove a few protections that "employees" get (in this case unemployment insurance) but the tax consequences are in the driver's favor. Using a schedule C your expenses are "first dollar". That is far better than what you might be able to get as an employee. I have done car expenses both ways and it is no comparison. |
