Most Gig Workers Overpay Taxes . Are You?
Here's the thing the IRS won't tell you: Gig workers are 1099 contractors, not W-2 employees. That means no taxes are withheld from your earnings, but you also get access to special write-offs that can save you hundreds even thousands of dollars every single year.
The problem? Most gig workers don't know what they can claim, how to track it properly, or when to set money aside. They end up scrambling at tax time, missing deductions, and paying way more than they should.
The Three Most Expensive Mistakes:
  • Common Mistake #1: You didn't track your mileage throughout the year
  • Common Mistake #2: You didn't claim your phone, bags, or gear as business expenses
  • Common Mistake #3: You didn't set aside enough and got hit with a surprise tax bill
Don't stress, that's exactly where I come in. I specialize in helping gig workers navigate the tax system, maximize deductions, and keep more money in their pockets.
Top 5 Ways to Save Money as a Gig Worker
These aren't secrets, they're strategies the IRS actually wants you to use. The catch? Most gig workers never learn about them until it's too late. Let's change that right now.
Mileage = Major Money
Every delivery, every trip, every grocery run you make while working adds up incredibly fast. For 2024, you can write off over 67¢ per mile driven for business purposes. If you drove 10,000 miles this year for gigs, that's a $6,700 deduction right there.
Your Phone Bill? Deductible.
If you use your phone to navigate routes, accept gig assignments, communicate with customers, or manage your business a portion of that bill absolutely counts as a business expense. Don't leave money on the table.
Bags, Gloves, Chargers = Business Gear
Think about everything you buy to do your job better: insulated delivery bags, phone chargers, cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, even snacks on those long shifts. Under the right conditions, these everyday purchases may count as legitimate business expenses.
Save 20–25% of Your Earnings
Here's the reality: no taxes are automatically taken out of your gig income. That means you need to be proactive. Setting aside 20-25% of what you earn ensures you're ready for that tax bill or better yet, helps you avoid owing anything at all.
You May Qualify for a 20% Bonus Deduction
It's called the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction, and it can save gig workers thousands of dollars every year. The catch? Most people don't even know it exists. I'll make sure you get every dollar you're entitled to.

Let's Talk Mileage. . .Your Biggest Tax Saver
Why Mileage Tracking Changes Everything
If you're doing delivery or rideshare work, your car is basically your office. And just like any business owner can write off their office rent, you can write off every mile you drive for work.
The standard mileage rate for 2025 is .70 cents per mile. That means if you drove 15,000 miles this year doing gigs, you're looking at over $10,500 in deductions. That's real money back in your pocket.
What Counts as Business Mileage?
  • Miles driven between pickups and deliveries
  • Driving to your first pickup of the day
  • Returning home after your last drop-off
  • Miles driven while waiting for orders in a busy area
Pro tip: Apps like Stride or MileIQ can automatically track this for you, so you never miss a deduction.

The Hidden Deductions You're Probably Missing
Beyond mileage and your phone bill, there are dozens of other expenses that gig workers can legally write off. Most people miss these because they don't realize their everyday purchases count as business expenses. Let's fix that.
Car Washes & Maintenance
Keeping your car clean and running smoothly for customer-facing work? Those oil changes, car washes, and repairs are deductible business expenses.
Snacks & Drinks on Shift
Long shifts require fuel for you and your car. Meals and snacks purchased while actively working may qualify as deductible expenses under certain conditions.
Phone Mounts & Accessories
That phone mount, charging cables, dash cam, or tablet holder you bought to make deliveries easier? All legitimate business purchases you can write off.
Delivery Bags & Equipment
Insulated bags, coolers, warming pouches, hand trucks any equipment you purchase to improve your delivery service counts as a business expense.
Drivers & Shoppers Trust W2G Group
Don't just take my word for it. Here's what real gig workers have to say about working with someone who actually understands their unique tax situation:
Kierra T.
UberEats + Instacart Driver
"Last year I owed $2,400 and was stressed out of my mind. This year I worked with Coco and actually got a $700 refund. She walked me through everything, explained what I could deduct, and made the whole process so easy. W2G is a lifesaver!"
Jermaine S.
DoorDash + Amazon Flex
"I didn't know anything about taxes before this. She broke everything down in plain English, handled all the confusing forms and paperwork, and got me a bag I didn't even know I was eligible for. Best decision I made all year was getting help instead of trying to DIY it."
Understanding the QBI Deduction . . .Your Secret Weapon
What Is the QBI Deduction?
QBI stands for Qualified Business Income, and it's one of the most powerful tax breaks available to gig workers. This deduction allows eligible self-employed individuals to deduct up to 20% of their qualified business income from their taxable income.
Let's say you made $50,000 doing gig work this year. After your business expenses, you have $40,000 in qualified business income. The QBI deduction could potentially save you taxes on an additional $8,000 that's massive.
Who Qualifies?
Most gig workers automatically qualify for the QBI deduction, but there are income thresholds and specific rules that apply. The great news? I handle all of that complexity for you.
Why Most Gig Workers Miss This
The QBI deduction was created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and it's still relatively new. Many tax preparers who don't specialize in gig economy work either forget about it or don't know how to apply it correctly. That's money left on the table.

Getting your taxes done right starts with good preparation. When you work with me, I'll help you gather everything you need — but here's a head start on what to have ready:
01
Income Documentation

Pull your mileage tracking data from apps like Stride, MileIQ, or Everlance. If you didn't track mileage automatically, gather your trip history from your gig apps.
03
Business Expense Receipts
Collect receipts for phone bills, car washes, maintenance, supplies, equipment purchases, and any other business-related expenses from the year.
04
Bank Statements
Have your bank statements ready showing deposits from gig platforms and any business-related purchases you made throughout the year.
05
Prior Year Tax Return
If you have last year's tax return, bring it along. It helps us understand your tax history and identify opportunities for improvement.

Don't have perfect records? Don't worry. I've worked with hundreds of gig workers who didn't track everything perfectly. We can work together to reconstruct your expenses and still get you significant savings.
