Final receipt vs the estimate
Your final Instacart receipt reflects the actual items delivered, including any replacements or weight adjustments, which can differ from the estimate at checkout. Use the receipt in Orders (or the emailed one) for the accurate total.
Shoppers: earnings and your 1099
If you shop and deliver for Instacart, your income is not in customer receipts. Instacart reports shopper earnings and, where thresholds are met, issues a 1099-NEC through Stripe, so watch for a Stripe email to access your tax form.
Your deductible expenses, mileage above all, plus phone and supplies, are yours to track. Mileage is typically the largest write-off for delivery work.
Keeping Instacart records for taxes
For a customer ordering supplies for a business, the itemized receipt is the record the IRS expects. For a shopper, the tax picture is income (from the 1099 and your shopper app) minus deductible expenses. Either way, capture receipts and log mileage as you go rather than reconstructing them later.
Good to know
- The final receipt in Orders reflects actual items delivered, use it rather than the checkout estimate.
- Instacart emails a receipt after delivery, searching your inbox is a quick way to find one.
- Instacart shoppers: your 1099-NEC comes through Stripe, and mileage is usually your biggest deduction.
