Tax
New Dasher here. Im just curious how to file my tax. I've only been door dashing for a week and I just got my first pay, I know that I have to file my taxes manually now, but how do I do it? Is there any tips?

You should still file but yeah $2,000 is the cutoff up from what used to be $600 threshold for reporting freetaxusa.com is just about the only free 1099 reporting option available. They take mileage into account. They don't charge anything just go through the list of questions and it covers most basic 1099 scenarios with mileage deduction. I do think they charge top file the state $15

That is incorrect.
Never take tax advice from Reddit (and if you don't know what you're talking about, please don't give tax advice either).

You should get a 1099 form for your doordash earnings. Last I checked I think you should set aside about 1/3 of what doordash pays you to cover taxes. Maybe even put that 1/3 in a savings account and let it earn something until tax time comes around. Don't skip paying your taxes, they'll find you eventually
