The short answer Yes, for short-term rental options, car leasing, or special car discounts available from top manufacturers, visit Uber’s website for more details.
You will use the 1099-K. Form payments are calculated from gross fares, tolls, sales tax, city fees, Airport fees, split fare fees, and safe ride fees. You can find this on the online Uber dashboard, or Uber will mail it to you.
The other form that you might need to fill out is the 1099-MISC. Reports compensation between Uber and driver-partners, including referrals, incentive payments, prizes, and awards, or any other income payments. If you don’t receive that in the mail or don’t see it, it means that you weren’t eligible and didn’t need to worry about filling it out, so you’re good to go.
Uber provides you with nothing rather than the driver app, and 75% of each drive you take nothing more. On a final note, feel free to leave any questions, suggestions, or concerns below until then, Happy Ubering.
