Uber picks Keeper over TurboTax

We’re excited to announce that Keeper has been selected as Uber’s primary tax partner, and that we’ll be supporting Uber’s US-based driver partners with their 2022 taxes.

Uber is the global leader in mobility, and provides ride-hailing, food & package delivery, and freight transportation services to millions of customers in over 10,000 cities and 71 countries worldwide.

Why did Uber choose Keeper?

Uber’s rideshare and delivery drivers are paid as independent contractors, making their taxes far more complex than those of employees. Unlike traditional tax filing software, Keeper is specifically designed for this use case. Rather than keeping track of expenses manually, drivers can use Keeper to automatically scan through transaction history to uncover easy-to-miss tax deductible business expenses.

“What appealed to us about Keeper is that it’s a product specifically catered to gig workers… it finds them tax savings that traditional software doesn’t.” - Tanvi Surti, Driver Progression Product Lead

For 2021 taxes, Uber ran a head-to-head trial offering both TurboTax and Keeper to their rideshare and delivery earners. After strong engagement and overwhelming positive feedback, Uber decided to make Keeper the primary tax offering to drivers as part of their Uber Pro program launch.
