 followed by quote:What I tweeted earlier was ill-considered. I’m sorry. Never intended to compare our issues to work done by one of history's great leaders.

Is it a rule that 'sharing economy' treps will inevitably try to compare themselves to great leaders of rights movements throughout history.

he has a point, though, in that if gandhi had marched against unjust government policies while adhering strictly to those policies he would not have gotten far.

there's some kind of weird logical leap where these people can ignore the fact that they're rent-seeking and see themselves as enablers of good

Did Gandhi really pay rent when he was marching or whatever? I doubt it.

steam makes it clear that you need to file taxes if you do a large number of sales on their marketplace so what I'm saying is that I fully believe uber won't make this clear to their

I have a w2 from work and this ugly 1099-K from Uber.

I've been working on my taxes. Mainly just running numbers. With the amount I've gotten deposited from both Uber and Lyft (which I am using instead of their ridiculous 1099), and then subtracting my mileage deduction; I'm finding that it will be drat near impossible to ever show any kind of "profit". I've run the numbers into the future, using my estimated earnings and mileage for 2015 (extrapolated from 2014). With the mileage deduction and at these rates, there is no way I'll be able to show profit. At all. So all i'm left with is SS/Medicare. This is so sad. uber drivers finally coming to the realization that they're pawning their car for uber

As a former compliance officer, ya, that schedule c is bad. But he made so little as it is that it is likely he will never be audited. I'm curious how many uber drivers will try to claim standard mileage rates. Drivers for hire aren't allowed to do that. edit: I would love to here about an irs-wide project to hit uber drivers. Are they giving out tax advice? TheMadMilkman fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Feb 17, 2015 |

I can't imagine uber would give out tax advice. they'd either lose drivers by admitting how terrible it is for them, or they'd encourage people to cheat and then be on the line for it

let's be serious: uber probably isn't paying their own taxes, much less worrying about their subcontractors compliance
