Don't sleep on tax deductions! Standard mileage rate for 2024 is $0.67/mile. Track EVERYTHING: phone bill, hot bags, phone mounts, car washes. I saved over $4,000 last year just by tracking properly. Get a good CPA who understands gig work.

This is so important! First year I did my own taxes and missed a ton of deductions. Second year hired a CPA who understood gig work and I got $1,800 more back. The $0.67/mile adds up fast - I drove 28,000 miles last year.

Don't forget the home office deduction if you have a dedicated space for managing your gig work! Also, portion of your internet and phone bill. Keep every receipt. I use a separate credit card just for dashing expenses.
