How to file taxes for 3rd party delivery

If I work for multiple delivery apps (DoorDash, GrubHub, Uber Eats) does the IRS consider them separate businesses or one business? In other words would I have to file 3 schedule C's one for each app or just one schedule C for all three since they're closely related?

Answer:

Because DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats are all online food ordering and delivery platforms, you’re basically doing the same activity, just for different companies. Therefore, IRS will consider them one business. You should file just one (1) Schedule C for all three activities. On the other hand, if you were also doing a completely different activity, such as landscaping, you would need to file two (2) separate Schedules C, one for the online food delivery activity and one for the landscaping work. May you have a successful and safe business!
