I think that's true for the most part, though I bet a lot of people under-report.
But there are things like health insurance which Uber would have to provide (and in the contractor case, are instead subsidised through Obamacare provisions) that I think would end up with take home being less...
- danieltillett 11y agoIt would have to be risky as a driver to under-report as they would be one pull of Uber's data away from an audit by the IRS. Health insurance might be more of a problem, but this is really only a US issue. I am wondering if a franchise model (say like McDonald's) might get you to a model where you have the benefits of employees, but without all the associated issues.
- infinite8s 11y agoIt doesn't even require a pull of Uber's data. Unless the driver is making less than $600/yr from Uber, Uber is required to file a 1099-MISC with the IRS for that driver.

- throwaway_exer 11y ago> subsidised through Obamacare provisions Obamacare mandates access to insurance (from a dwindling group of participating insurers), it is not a direct subsidy. In fact, Obamacare has raised insurance rates for most people, as insurers cancelled most plans because they "were not compatible" with Obamacare, and re-enrolled members at higher rates than before.
