Advocates say dozens of Chicago-area Lyft drivers who are working through the immigration process have stopped being paid by ride-hailing giant, which blames tax filing errors.
The Illinois Independent Drivers Guild says there are about 40 drivers in the Chicago area who have earned money, in some cases thousands of dollars, that has been withheld because Lyft said it received “no match” letters from the IRS meaning their individual tax ID numbers don’t match records in the federal system.
