If you get paid through apps like Venmo, PayPal or other third-party platforms, preparing your taxes may be a little more confusing than usual.
A new tax reporting rule requires third-party payment platforms to issue you and the IRS a 1099-K for business transaction payments if they add up to more than $600 over the course of the year. A business transaction that is taxable is defined as a payment for a good or service, including tips. It used to be those platforms only had to issue you a 1099-K if you engaged in more than 200 business transactions for which you received total payments of more than $20,000.
“People are just not going to understand how to take that gross amount and then work off the deductions to get to their taxable amount.” What the new rule doesn’t do The new rule doesn’t impose any additional taxes on anyone. Nor does it change your obligation as a taxpayer to always report to the IRS all of your taxable income from your business activities. But the 1099-K reporting will make it harder for someone to evade the taxes they owe by underreporting their business income.
