Mileage between every store
At the 2026 IRS standard mileage rate of $0.725/mi, business miles add up fast. Many gig drivers miss thousands in mileage deductions each year; Gigaverse auto-tracks every business mile so the write-off is there at tax time.
Keep your tips
The No Tax on Tips deduction (2025-2028) lets eligible workers deduct up to $25,000 of reported tip income from federal taxable income. Your actual benefit depends on your tips, bracket, and eligibility — Gigaverse tracks tips automatically so you can claim what you qualify for.
Portable retirement
The PRActicle™ is a portable Roth IRA opened through a FINRA/SIPC-member broker-dealer that auto-invests a percentage of every payout. Contributions are post-tax, grow tax-free, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free. It follows you across every platform and client — no employer 401(k) required.
Estimated taxes, simplified
Gigaverse calculates your quarterly estimated taxes so you never get hit with a penalty.
