Lyft-Specific Tax Challenges We Solve

Lyft drivers often face confusing income types, multi-form reporting, and unclear deductions. WBB eliminates the guesswork so you file accurately and keep more of your hard-earned money. 

You focus on driving. We handle the tax complexity.

Your Lyft Tax Documents at a Glance

We pull and organize the documents Lyft provides so you do not guess. 

1099-K

Rider payments processed through the app (gross amounts; only issued if you exceed 200 transactions and 20,000 dollars)

1099-NEC

Bonuses, incentives, streaks, adjustments, and referral payouts

Lyft Annual Summary

Year-end breakdown (on-trip miles, fees, tolls, incentives, adjustments)

WBB Tip: Your 1099-K is gross. Platform fees and booking charges must be deducted separately. WBB does this automatically so you never overpay tax.
