Important Update for Freelancers and Small Business Owners: New IRS Reporting Requirements Ahead
December 13, 2024 - 17:45
Attention freelancers, independent contractors, business owners, property renters, and occasional sellers! Starting January, there will be significant changes in how income from payment apps and online marketplaces is reported to the IRS. If you utilize platforms such as Venmo, CashApp, Airbnb, or Etsy to accept business-related payments, you may begin receiving 1099-K tax forms.
This new requirement means that these platforms will be obligated to report transactions to the IRS if you exceed certain thresholds. Specifically, if you receive over $600 in payments for goods or services, you will be issued a 1099-K form, which details your income for tax purposes.
It’s crucial to keep accurate records of your earnings and expenses throughout the year to ensure you can report your income correctly. As the tax season approaches, be prepared for these changes, and consider consulting with a tax professional to navigate the new requirements effectively.
