I’ve been researching more about deductions and I got into how you can write off your vehicle (down payment,gas, insurance) and then the monthly payments and insurance and gas with the preceding months as long as it’s paid and recorded through the business account and quick books or whatever app you use. Has anyone been able to do this with Instacart? Does it count as a business on its own? Or do you need to/is it worth it to open an LLC to do this? Thank you very much!

Completely separate question: you can also write off equipment like wagons or push carts to carry more items or make it easier since it helps with your job, what are some items you have personally got to help you with the job or do y’all have better suggestions for useful equipment?
