Delivery Drivers Financial Tools in Massachusetts — FAQ

What do delivery drivers need to get started in Massachusetts?

You need a valid Massachusetts driver's license, auto insurance, a reliable vehicle, and to pass a background check. Some platforms (Instacart, etc.) also accept bike or scooter delivery in major metros. A few Massachusetts jurisdictions require food handler permits for food delivery.

Should delivery drivers in Massachusetts form an LLC?

For most part-time drivers, an LLC isn't necessary. But if delivery is your primary income or you drive for multiple platforms, forming an LLC ($500 in Massachusetts) provides liability protection and makes expense tracking cleaner for tax time.

What banking features matter for delivery drivers in Massachusetts?

Delivery drivers need instant payout support (DoorDash, Instacart, etc. offer daily deposits), mileage and gas tracking, low or no monthly fees, and easy expense categorization. AI bookkeeping auto-tracks your vehicle expenses and calculates actual per-delivery profit.

How do delivery drivers in Massachusetts handle taxes?

Delivery income is self-employment income — you'll owe self-employment tax (15.3%) plus Massachusetts state income tax (5% (flat rate, plus 4% surtax on income over $1M)). The standard mileage deduction ($0.7/mile in 2026) is usually your biggest write-off. Track every delivery mile. Other deductions include phone, insulated bags, and car maintenance.
