Texas Specific Gig Worker Tax Challenges We Solve

Most Texas gig workers struggle with taxes because income comes from multiple apps and federal self employment rules are complex. WBB removes the guesswork so you file accurately and keep more of your earnings. 

You focus on earning. We handle the tax complexity. 

Your Texas Gig Worker Tax Documents at a Glance

We pull and organize the documents gig platforms provide so you don’t guess. 

1099-K

Issued only if you exceed 200 transactions and 20,000 dollars in customer payments. Many Texas gig workers will not receive this form.

1099-NEC

Issued when you earn 600 dollars or more. Includes bonuses, incentives, promotions, and referral rewards.

Earnings Summaries

Year-end breakdowns showing miles, tips, fees, payouts, incentives, and adjustments. Required even without a 1099.

WBB Tip: The 1099-K reports gross income. Platform fees, commissions, and adjustments must be deducted separately. WBB automates this so you do not overpay tax.
