On-Demand Drivers � 2021 | Best Guide To Read

On-demand drivers for ridesharing companies, such as Uber or Lyft, are not employees and are instead considered independent contractors for tax purposes. Being an independent contractor means you are self-employed. This means that the company is not withholding any taxes from your pay and you will be responsible for paying your own federal income tax (and state income tax, if applicable), and Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes (self-employment tax) on your net profit as well as 100% of any associated costs.
