Truck Driver and Owner Operator Tax Challenges We Solve

Most truck drivers struggle with taxes because income comes from carriers, load boards, factoring companies, and different types of 1099s. WBB removes the guesswork so you file accurately and keep more of your earnings. 

You focus on your work. We handle the tax complexity. 

Your Truck Driver Tax Documents at a Glance

We pull and organize the documents trucking professionals receive so you do not guess. 

1099-NEC

Issued if your carrier, broker, or dispatch service paid you 600 dollars or more. Includes contract pay, load payouts, bonuses, and reimbursements. 

1099-K

Issued only if you exceed 200 transactions and 20,000 dollars in payments through load boards, factoring companies, or processors like Stripe or Square.

Trip, Load, or Settlement Statements

Weekly or monthly reports listing miles driven, fuel charges, reimbursements, lumper fees, tolls, detention pay, and net pay. 

Maintenance and Fuel Logs

Critical for Actual Expense deductions for owner-operators. 

WBB Tip: 1099-K and settlement statements report gross income. Fuel, tolls, factoring fees, maintenance, and carrier charges must be deducted separately. WBB handles these adjustments automatically so you do not overpay tax.
