Does Doordash count as job?
As a Dasher, you’re an independent contractor. It might be a side job or a side hustle but in the end it just means that Doordash doesn’t automatically withhold taxes from your paycheck. For many Dashers, maximizing tax deductions means they pay less in taxes than what they would pay as an employee.
Do you claim Instacart on unemployment?

Does Instacart pay mileage?
Although Instacart uses estimated mileage as one component in its calculation of how much payment to offer per batch, this is not a mileage reimbursement, so you can still deduct work-related mileage from your taxable income.
Does Instacart report to IRS?
If you made under $600 last year, Instacart isn’t required to send you a 1099 form. Your income is still taxable and reported to the IRS, so you’ll need to include it in your tax returns. When you don’t receive a 1099 form, find documentation of your earnings either in the Instacart app or your bank account statements.

Does Postmates report to IRS?
As a general rule, if you make more than $600 in a calendar year, Postmates will usually send you a Form 1099. If you make less than $600 a year, you won’t receive a 1099 from them, but you will still have to report the gross amount to the IRS.
Do you get a W2 from Postmates?
More than $600: Postmates who’ve earned $600 or more in a year will receive a Form 1099-MISC which reports your annual earnings.
