How People Use This

Tax season was chaos until I started converting my Lyft earnings to QuickBooks bank format weekly. I use daily aggregation so each day shows one line instead of 25 separate rides. My accountant says my books are cleaner than most W-2 employees.

Jamal T.
Full-Time Lyft Driver · 120+ rides/week

I drive Lyft on weekends and needed to track rideshare income for my tax return. I converted three months of Lyft earnings into QuickBooks and matched them against my bank deposits. The 1099-K reconciliation took minutes instead of hours.

Brianna C.
Part-Time Rideshare Driver · 30 rides/week

Every January my Lyft driver clients show up with messy spreadsheets. Now I have them export their earnings CSV and I convert it to QuickBooks bank format. Each driver's ride-level detail imports cleanly so I can calculate mileage deductions accurately.

Martin F.
Tax Preparer · 45 rideshare clients

I manage QuickBooks for a fleet of Lyft drivers. Converting their weekly earnings exports in bulk saves me about 5 hours each month. The net earnings column maps correctly so deposits match what actually hits their bank accounts.

What form do I receive from Lyft?

You'll receive a 1099-K if you have 200+ transactions and $20,000+ in gross payments, or a 1099-MISC for bonuses over $600.
