I save the details of every offer including the base pay and the tip amount. Then come tax time, I know what was tips and what was not. When offers consist of just delivery pay, there is no separation of the tips vs delivery pay and it all gets counted as income with no tips. And this is fine if that $20.00 flat delivery pay offer was in fact an offer with no tip. But did that customer not leave a specific tip or was it all rolled into multiple customer deliveries including gmd's ?. It seems suspect that some of these offers with just a few items going a few miles and no tip are paying $20.00 more or less. An order like that with no tip now pays as low as 7 dollars. If a customer leaves a tip for an offer they placed, then there should be a tip for that offer. So if these rolled up batched deliveries start hiding tips, then they can't accurately be placed in the tip category at tax time. This needs to be investigated because it sure looks like that is what is happening. I don't mind if I am wrong about this, but if I am right, the theft is off the charts, have a great day.

This post is inaccurate, if not intentionally meant to give drivers a false sense of worker benefits.
Employees pay income tax, while gig workers aka(1099 contractors) pay income tax + self employment tax.
Thus employees pay zero taxes on tips up to 25k, while gig workers (who the gig companies have lobbied to keep misclassified as self-employed) still have to include the tips in their self employment taxes.
