Frequently Asked Questions
Does Grubhub send a 1099?
Yes, Grubhub sends a 1099-NEC if you earned $600 or more during the tax year. You must report all income even if you earned less than $600.
Can I deduct miles driving to the restaurant?
Yes. All miles driven while the Grubhub app is on and you are available for deliveries count as business miles — including driving to the restaurant and back to your delivery area.
