INSTACART

[Lee B]

 Talked to new client on the phone who did Instacart shopping/delivery last year. My preliminary research online suggests that the only annual information Instacart provides is  Form 1099?

Any addditional information that you can provide would be appreciated

Thanks in advance,

Thanks, I had already read this article. I was hoping that someone had prepared a return(s) .

What exactly are your concerns?  I had a couple of them and treated them like any other Schedule C.  Deducted mileage for deliveries (one used a app to track mileage and the other a pen and paper log) and a % of their cell phone because they used it in the store to scan items and for the GPS while delivering.

Actually, I was wondering whether Instacart provided any supporting reports in addition to the 1099?

My clients received the 1099 only.
