Exactly. Yes it changes my transport time from 50 minutes to 150 minutes but I also have better lighting, more room, much quieter, don’t have to worry about falling out of the sky. Now we are also starting to do fixed wing transfers which is another interesting change.Oh no, leg room, cushier seats, and a relatively quiet work space? What a travesty.
If I wasn't in this transition point, there is a service a friend works at that does fixed wing and it looks like an awesome place. I'd have already applied if I had a longer window of time to work with.
That's actually what he does. Two week cycles.
There are plenty of different agencies in CA and AZ that do only FW or a frequent amount of FW
if i dont get a larger refund from state income taxes on my regular income
I'll have to do some research into that. But probably not for a year as I've decided that instead of two year to get my bachelor's degree... I'm doing it in 1. Bring on 12 credits, a full time job, a part time job, one toddler, and one newborn!
With even casual 1099 income, you can pretty much say goodbye to any hope of a refund barring college or home owner credits. But it makes sense...you didn't pay a dime on your uber income so the tax man is going to want their cut eventually.While I'm grateful for the extra cash driving for Uber last year provided that payed bills that wouldn't have been payed otherwise... the fact that you're a 1099 self employed contractor means my taxes were.... complicated this year.
Particularly state taxes. Turns out self employed small business owners (which is what you technically are to the state being an Uber driver) apparently have to file state income taxes quarterly.
I talked to a CPA, and right off the bat, looks like I may owe the state $500 on taxes
Good news is that I've been able to pick up enough OT here that I haven't needed to do any Ubering since last October and now they just increased how many hours of OT we're allowed to pick up...
So hopefully next years taxes will be a one and done W2 lol
You sir, are a braver man than I. Valiant efforts hardly go unnoticed, so best of luck with all of it.
Welcome to AZ! Let me know when you make it out here & I’ll take you out for a drink or two
