Is Instacart a 1099 income? Are you treated as an independent contractor? If so, I would assume that you can deduct your mileage as business expense. I agree that after you learn the stores and which jobs pay the most, you should be able to greatly increase your hourly income.

Yes it's 1099.
Does that mean I can still deduct mileage on taxes? Or can you only do that as an independent contractor?
If you are 1099 can you can deduct mileage. If you receive a 1099 then you are considered an independent contractor. There may be other expenses you can deduct as well, like the portion of your internet cost and cell phone that are used in the course of business. And if you purchased any special equipment, computer or furniture that is used exclusively in the course of the business, that is also potentially deductible.
Thanks so much! I will be sure to keep track of all of that stuff for next year. I started working after January so I won't have anything to do for it tax-wise this year.
