With Empower, you are a customer, not our employee or independent contractor, so you do not receive a W-2 or 1099 from Empower. With Empower, you are your own boss. You set your own rates and get 100% of the fare. Empower's mission is to support and assist you and other hard working professionals who want to run and grow their own business. As part of our effort to do that we provide all customers with a concise summary of their earnings, expenses, and mileage in late January or early February of each year. If you have any additional questions, we recommend that you speak to a tax professional.
