Individuals working as delivery partners for Amazon’s flexible work program often seek to reduce their overall tax burden through eligible deductions. These deductions can encompass various expenses incurred while performing delivery services, potentially lowering taxable income. For example, costs associated with vehicle usage, such as mileage or actual expenses, and phone usage directly related to deliveries may qualify.
Understanding and utilizing available tax deductions is critical for delivery partners seeking to maximize their earnings and minimize their tax liabilities. Historically, independent contractors have been able to claim business-related expenses, reflecting the principle that only net income (income after deducting business costs) is subject to taxation. This approach enables them to more accurately reflect their profitability.
