I am a Rover Sitter in Canada, how do we include our Rover income on our taxes?

Hello, I have done some Rover sitting in 2020 and assume I will need to report the earnings as income on my 2020 Canadian tax submission. How do I do this? Does Rover provide a document or do you have instructions on how I do that. Thanks in advance

Hi Lorraine, just wondering how did you end up doing the tax submission in Canada?

Rover is not a tax advisor and cannot provide advice about taxes, income reporting, or unemployment.Rover does not provide any documents to support filing your taxes unless you have set up payments via check; if you take payments via PayPal you are out of luck. Rover does track your earnings though and you can find it here: https://www.rover.com/account/payments/… under withdrawal history by year. This article shows you the steps. https://support.rover.com/hc/en-us/arti…

While I am not Canadian, it would appear that the reporting would be similar to the US, in that you are an independent contractor and earnings (as well as relevant expenses) are reported via a special form.

Here is some information about it from TurboTax about Form T2125:

I suggest that you get information from your government's tax website about what is a business deduction. In the US, no official reporting form (1099) is required on the income side.

For the most part, Rover itself doesn't send any forms or do any governmental reporting. It leaves that to Paypal, which did have a very high threshold for reporting. However, this year, I have received two 1099s from Paypal due to earnings from selling sites (not Rover) that are substantially below that threshold and those are being transmitted to both federal and state taxing authorities. I received them a few days ago.
