Just a heads up if you have been in the gig economy, or otherwise accepting paypal (or similar) payments for goods and services and the like, you need to be aware that the 1099-K changes for 2022 are likely going to affect you. Currently, your money received is not reported to the IRS unless BOTH of the following requirements are met:
* You receive more than $20,000 in transactions in a year
* You receive more than 200 total transactions in a year
Thanks to our wonderful fucks that voted in a geriatric dementia patient as president, and for voting in Democrats, they had passed a law that changed this, effective Jan 1 2022 to the following:
* You receive more than $600 in transactions in a year
That's it. 20K dropped to $600 and 200 transaction requirement removed. As such, a TON more income will be affected by this. The typical types of jobs this will affect you are things like...
1. Freelancers (Artists, programmers, gig people)
2. Any gig economy worker that does it part time for extra cash.
3. Patreon people
4. Small twitch streamers
So just a friendly heads up. I have a feeling this is going to hit people across the face and no one really know's its coming. You always were liable for your taxes on this income, but now they are going to make sure they get it.
