Frequently asked questions
Why do gross earnings matter for my taxes?
Why do gross earnings matter for my taxes?
Unadjusted gross sales (what we’re calling “gross earnings”), is defined as transactions without adjustments for credits, fees, reimbursements, or any other amounts.
In other words, the “gross earnings” value, reported on your “Tax information” page, is the total amount of the transactions processed by Turo and hasn’t been reduced by Turo fees, plus any other payment received from Turo (i.e. host incentives). So your gross earnings reported will always exceed the total amount you received from Turo.
How do I get a breakdown of my gross earnings?
How do I get a breakdown of my gross earnings?
You can access a breakdown of your annual earnings on your "Tax information" page. On your “Transaction history” page, you can obtain specific transaction details from the receipts from your individual trips or download your entire transaction history.

Why don’t my gross earnings match my earnings chart?
Gross earnings include trip earnings, Turo fees, host incentives, and host cancellation fees, but don’t include reimbursements. On the other hand, your earnings chart shows your trip earnings and reimbursements, but doesn’t include Turo fees, host incentives, or host cancellation fees. The gross earnings value is only used for tax reporting purposes.
