Lyft Tax Calculator 2025: Free Tool for U.S. Rideshare Drivers

đźš— Why Rideshare Taxes Are So Complicated

Driving for Lyft means you’re self-employed. That comes with freedom—but also tax complexity. You’re responsible for:

  • Income tax
  • Self-employment tax (Social Security & Medicare)
  • Quarterly estimated payments
  • Tracking business expenses

Lyft provides basic earnings summaries, but it doesn’t help you calculate your actual tax liability. That’s where the Ride Income Calculator steps in.

📊 What Lyft Gives You (and What It Doesn’t)

Lyft provides:

  • Weekly earnings reports
  • Annual 1099 forms (if you earn $600+)
  • Access to a basic Tax Center

But it doesn’t:

  • Track your mileage or expenses
  • Estimate your quarterly payments
  • Help you prepare for IRS audits
  • Support multi-platform income tracking
