<prompt> Human: So Im really strongly considering driving for amazon flex because its the only type of work that fits into my schedule right now. Heres what I know, it would be really appreciated if someone could help me fill in the gaps or let me know if Im wrong.As a 1099 contractor, Ill be paying a flat 15 of all income to payroll taxes. This leaves me with about 15 or every 18hr that amazon flex pays. Considering I probably wont be making more than 10kyr, and that Ill be deducting gas and mileage from my taxes, my federal tax liability should be pretty low, if not zero. I currently drive a toyota corolla with 130k miles on it. I do my own maintenance. Oil change every 3k miles costs me 30 and an hour or so of my time. Other minor maintenance like air filter, fluids, brakes dont cost much. I dont expect my car to need any kind of major maintenance in the near future based on how reliable corollas are. My car gets about 30 MPG, gas costs about 2.60gallon where I live. From what Ive been reading, Amazon Flex delivery routes or blocks are usually are only about 20 miles. Throw in another 20 miles generously to get to the warehouse, etc. and Im spending less than 5 in gas. I dont care about depreciation because my car isnt worth much and Im going to buy a new one in about a year when I graduate from school and start my career anyway. So, assuming I do a 3 hour block which pays a flat rate of 54, Ill be paying 5 in gas, 8 in taxes, and call it 10 for depreciation and other maintenance which I think is high, but thats a conservative estimate. So thats 31 in my pocket for 3 hours or work, or about 10hr. Id be more than happy to make that much right now, and it would only be short term like 8 months max. So, what do you think?  <response>: Dont forget proper insurance if youre doing publicly accessible transport. The real taxis have coverage for up to about a million. Thatll be your largest regular expense.
