How to Enter DoorDash & Uber Eats on Wealthsimple Tax (Step-by-Step)

How to enter DoorDash and Uber Eats on Wealthsimple Tax

If you deliver for DoorDash, Uber Eats, SkipTheDishes, Instacart, or more than one app, the app deposits are only one part of your tax records. As a self-employed delivery driver, you generally report business income and eligible expenses on Form T2125 (Statement of Business or Professional Activities) as part of your personal T1 return.

This walk-through follows the current Wealthsimple Tax Help Centre workflow: Add tax forms → Business, Professional, and Commission Income → Identification → Income & Expenses. The exact layout can change between tax years, so use the labels shown in the return you are filing.

Tax-year note: This post is dated October 6, 2026. The 2026 tax return will be filed in 2027, and Wealthsimple may update its screens when that filing season opens. I checked the currently published Wealthsimple Tax instructions on October 5, 2026; this guide explains that current workflow and flags the points you should re-check in your 2026 return.

This is general Canadian tax information, not personal tax advice. Your records, province or territory, GST/HST status, and work arrangement matter.

Before opening Wealthsimple Tax: get your numbers together

Do not start by adding up bank deposits. First download or gather:

• Each app's annual earnings summary and transaction or payout history.
• Bank statements so you can match app payouts to deposits.
• Tip, bonus, incentive, refund, and adjustment details.
• Platform fees and other amounts withheld from earnings.
• Receipts for business expenses.
• Your vehicle's total kilometres and business kilometres, plus fuel, repairs, insurance, lease or loan-interest records, if applicable.
• GST/HST account records if you are registered, including amounts collected, remitted, and any input tax credits claimed.
• Any T4A or other tax slips related to your delivery work.

Keep one set of totals for each app, even if you use one T2125 for your delivery activity. The app statements and your bank deposits should reconcile; differences may come from platform fees, timing, adjustments, or deposits that cross reporting periods.

If you want a ready-made way to organize payouts, platform fees, hours, kilometres, and expenses before entering them, the Canadian Gig Worker Dashboard is my paid Google Sheets tracker. It is optional: you can make the same worksheet yourself, and the tracker does not replace receipts, a mileage log, CRA forms, or tax advice.

For the underlying income and expense rules, see the CRA T2125 guide for delivery drivers and the multi-app tax tracking guide.

Step 1: Open the return for the correct tax year

Sign in to Wealthsimple Tax and open or create the personal tax return for the year you are reporting. Delivery income earned in 2026 belongs on your 2026 return, which you file in 2027—not on a 2025 return just because you may have the prior year's return open in your account.

You can also have a regular job and delivery income on the same personal return. Enter your T4 employment information in its own tax-slip section; the delivery business goes on the T2125.

Step 2: Add the T2125 section

1. In the left-hand navigation, select Add tax forms.
2. Search for Business, Professional, and Commission Income.
3. Select the matching section to add it to your tax profile.
4. Open the section and start the T2125 for your delivery activity.

Wealthsimple's current help instructions use this section for self-employment and contractor income—even if you do not have a registered business name, business number, or a storefront.

One delivery business across multiple apps?

If DoorDash and Uber Eats are both part of the same local delivery activity, do not create separate T2125 forms just because you used different apps. Enter the business activity in the appropriate T2125 and keep the source totals separate in your own records.

If you also provide passenger rides, run a separate business, or have another materially different activity, the right reporting setup can be different. Commercial ridesharing also has different GST/HST rules. Check the Uber versus Uber Eats GST/HST guide or speak with a qualified tax professional about your situation.

Step 3: Complete the Identification details

Open the T2125 Identification area. Wealthsimple may show some fields conditionally based on your answers.

• Income type: For ordinary app-based delivery work, choose the business-income option rather than professional income. You are providing delivery services, not a regulated professional service.
• Business name: If you have not registered a separate business name, do not invent one. Enter the name the software requests for your activity and use your records consistently.
• Does this business have its own address? If you work on the road or from home and do not have a separate business location, Wealthsimple's guidance says to answer No.
• Partnership: Answer based on how the business is legally operated. If you work alone as a sole proprietor, you are generally not reporting a partnership.
• Fiscal period: A sole proprietor's usual year-end is December 31. Use the dates that apply to your actual business and tax year.
• Main product or service: If the field appears, a plain description such as “local food and grocery delivery through online platforms” is clear.
• Industry code: Search the available list for “local delivery” or “messenger.” 492210 — Local messengers and local delivery is a strong match for local app-based food delivery when it describes your main activity. The code describes the work, not the app name; see the T2125 industry-code guide.
• GST/HST number: Enter it only if you are registered and the return asks for it. If you are not registered, do not make one up.

Answer based on your facts, not on what you think Wealthsimple or the CRA would prefer to see.

Step 4: Enter your delivery income without missing or duplicating it

Open Income & Expenses. Work from each platform's annual records and reconcile those records to your deposits before typing a total.

If you did not receive a tax slip for the app income

Use the gross business sales, commissions, or fees field for income that is not already included from a tax slip. In the current Wealthsimple workflow, this is identified as Other gross sales, commissions or fees for business income.

Include all business income you earned from delivery activity, such as:

• DoorDash and Uber Eats delivery earnings;
• SkipTheDishes or Instacart earnings, if applicable;
• customer tips;
• bonuses, incentives, and other payments connected to your work; and
• other delivery-business income shown in your records.

Do not enter only the amount that landed in your bank account if the platform withheld fees before paying you. Reconcile gross earnings, platform fees, tips, adjustments, and payouts so the income and expense entries tell the same story. CRA guidance generally treats gross business income and eligible platform charges as separate parts of the calculation; do not subtract fees from income and then claim those same fees again as expenses.

If you received a T4A or another slip

Add the relevant slip section and enter the slip as issued. If Wealthsimple asks which T2125 should include the business income, select the delivery T2125. The amount should then flow into that T2125.

Do not enter the same slip income again as “Other gross sales, commissions or fees.” You still need to check that all app income and tips are reported; the slip may not represent every amount in your platform records. Read the guide to reporting delivery income when you do not get a T4A if you are unsure how a platform slip fits with your annual statement.

GST/HST collected

If you are registered, answer the GST/HST questions using your actual registration, accounting method, and records. Wealthsimple has separate fields and prompts for sales taxes and for the Quick Method; do not guess or treat GST/HST collected as extra personal income. The T2125 entry is not a substitute for preparing and filing a separate GST/HST return.

Generally, delivery-only drivers must register once taxable sales exceed the $30,000 small-supplier threshold under the applicable four-calendar-quarter rules. Commercial rideshare drivers have to register from the start of that activity. Read the CRA's tax obligations for delivery and commercial rideshare drivers if your work includes both.

Step 5: Enter eligible business expenses

Scroll through the T2125 expense categories in Income & Expenses. Enter the amount that is deductible for the business—not automatically every amount you spent while working.

Common records to review include:

• Platform service or administrative fees withheld from earnings.
• The business portion of your phone plan or data, if it was used for delivery work.
• Supplies and other reasonable costs incurred to earn delivery income.
• Eligible vehicle operating costs, calculated using business-use records.

Choose the Wealthsimple category that best describes the expense. If you cannot tell whether a cost is deductible, do not force it into a category just to reduce your tax bill. Keep the receipt and get advice.

Vehicle expenses: enter only the supported business share

If you used your car for both personal and delivery driving, record total kilometres and business kilometres for the year. Your business-use percentage is generally based on business kilometres divided by total kilometres, and is used to calculate the eligible business portion of many mixed-use vehicle expenses.

Enter vehicle costs in the Motor Vehicle Expenses area if it appears in the T2125. Use receipts and records for eligible costs such as fuel, repairs, insurance, licence fees, and eligible lease costs or interest, subject to CRA rules and limits. Business parking and supplementary business insurance can have different treatment.

Do not claim all your gas just because you delivered during the year, and do not use the employee per-kilometre allowance rate as a shortcut for a self-employed T2125 claim. A purchased vehicle, capital cost allowance (CCA), a vehicle change during the year, or complicated mixed-use records can need extra care. See the CRA vehicle-expense guide and CRA's motor-vehicle calculation rules.

Step 6: Review what Wealthsimple calculated

Before moving on, compare the T2125 entries with your own worksheet and check:

• Every delivery app's income is included once.
• Tips, bonuses, and other delivery payments are not missing.
• Slip income has not also been entered manually.
• Platform fees and other expenses are not deducted twice.
• Shared expenses are limited to a supportable business portion.
• The selected business activity, fiscal period, and GST/HST answers match your records.

Wealthsimple will use the T2125 information in your overall T1 return. Review the resulting net business income or loss and any related tax calculations, including self-employed CPP where applicable. Do not assume that an app's net payout is your taxable profit, or that a tax software warning is individualized tax advice.

Complete the rest of your return, resolve any outstanding review prompts, and only then file. Save a copy of the filed return, the T2125, platform statements, receipts, mileage records, and your reconciliation. CRA generally requires supporting business records to be kept for at least six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to.

Common Wealthsimple Tax mistakes to avoid

1. Entering net deposits as gross income without reconciling fees. Use the app statements and bank activity together.
2. Creating one T2125 for every app by default. The apps are sources of income; the underlying business activity is what the T2125 describes.
3. Entering a T4A twice. Assign slip income to the correct T2125 and do not repeat it in the manual gross-income field.
4. Treating tips or incentives as invisible. Include business-related earnings shown in your platform records.
5. Claiming 100% of mixed-use vehicle or phone costs. Support the business portion with records.
6. Mixing up income tax and GST/HST. They are separate obligations, and the GST/HST rules depend on what services you provide and whether you are registered.
