If you drive for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex, or any other gig platform, you're self-employed. That means quarterly taxes, mileage deductions, and insurance gaps that most drivers don't find out about until it's too late.
GigWorkerHQ explains exactly what you owe, what you can deduct, and what coverage you actually have — with specific numbers, not vague advice.
