What happens if you make less than 600 with Uber Eats?

?NOTE: If you earned less than $600 from any company they are not required to send you a 1099! However, you are required to pay taxes on any earnings regardless of size. This means that if Uber didn't send you a 1099, yet you still earned money, you absolutely must claim those earnings on your taxes!
