Tax strategy for TaskRabbit pros
Task work spans categories, so the deduction schedule should too. Tools and consumables for furniture assembly, plumbing parts for small jobs, and vehicle mileage for errand-based tasks are all ordinary and necessary. Keep receipts by task category, because a mixed schedule without separation is the single most common reason a TaskRabbit deduction gets questioned.
Task income is project-based and lumpy. A month of back-to-back moving jobs followed by a quiet month is normal, so base vouchers on trailing-twelve-month income and expect the IRS to look at a lower amount than your best month suggests.
