Before 2022, third-party transactions for business owners and side hustlers followed different thresholds: individuals needed to report gross payments exceeding $20,000 and report earnings if they had more than 200 such transactions, according to the IRS. But as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act, any transactions made after March 11, 2021 that exceed $600 must be reported to the IRS, regardless of how many of those transactions you’ve had.

This is really is gonna tick off a lot of sellers. And how does Paypal, Venmo, Zelle, etc distinguish between personal payments and money you made from selling something?

FYI this rule has always been in place but you had to self-report if you hit the threshold now these companies have to send out the tax forms to you.

Sounds very burdensome and will probably dissuade people from selling things online.

Once the system is set up, it won't be burdensome for the companies. And individuals will just get the form and don't have to include it if they are just selling a personal item.


So if you get one or two 1099's because of some transaction. IRS won't come looking. You get 1000 of them and maybe.

There has been plans to ban cash for many years, and books like "The War on Cash" have been outlining how and why they are going to try and accomplish it.
Needless to say it is an expansion of the government, and an attempt to keep you from buying a stick of gum without Big Brother knowing about it.
Then they will try to institute a social credit score, and that will dictate how much credit you have, your earnings, etc.

That is why they are wanting to do away with real money.

This doesn't set the case for the Dems that they only go after the 1 percent or wealthy tax cheats. No wonder they need those 80k extra IRS agents.

Eh, I’ve long reported my side hustle income because it was over $600 in a year. No big deal.

The rule also penalizes people when selling their personal possessions.
