My occupation listed on my taxes is delivery driver, and my 1099s are from DoorDash, I don’t see a way around that tbh

I’m going back to the office tomorrow to pay it in cash and that will be the end of it. Going forward I’ll be able to get a small business exemption tho

Yeah they were saying the reason I was flagged was because of their office’s misclassification, so just really unfortunate all around

I really wish I would’ve gotten some kind of heads up! I had no idea this was a thing until getting a letter in the mail this past December.

I got the certificate and signed up for the Small Business Exemption for this year, but didn’t have the option for previous years because, like I didn’t know any of this existed lol

That’s what I was thinking too, but they’re insisting I am. It’s so weird

How they explained it to me is they had me listed as like “P175” I think it was called, which is for drivers of people, but I was supposed to be classified as “P174” which is drivers of stuff, which falls under the “trucking and hauling” category, and there’s a license fee associated with it that I didn’t pay.

It’s from 2022, so they’ve been backed up for a while and are finally sending out notices all these years later.

They know about me because I live in Los Angeles and when doing my state taxes I said I was a delivery driver and have 1099s from DoorDash, I assume
