IRS Delays $600 Gig-Tax Rule

Still unsure what the rules are or when it takes effect but this is something to look into so we're all clear on it.

 

The Internal Revenue Service on Friday announced they are delaying new tax-reporting requirements for millions of Americans who made more than $600 of income from e-commerce platforms such as Ebay, Etsy and Airbnb.

The one-year reprieve means that said e-commerce platforms will not give the tax agency information on users whose income exceeds the $600 level, nor will they be required to provide sellers with a blizzard of 1099-k tax forms in early 2023. As the Wall Street Journal notes, this also means that opponents of the $600 rule can push for a change in the law next year.

“The additional time will help reduce confusion during the coming 2023 tax filing season and provide more time for taxpayers to prepare and understand the new reporting requirements,” according to Acting IRS Commissioner Doug O’Donnell.

Yes, this was part of Biden's so called American Rescue Act, yet this new tax law would have just hurt Americans even more. Hopefully the opponents will get us all some relief and get this $600 min raised to at least $2,000 - $3,000. Yes, technically even if you make .60 total on surveys, you are "supposed" to report it on your taxes. Yet, I doubt many people do. In fact, even if you win a $2 scratchoff lottery ticket, you are technically supposed to report that too.

I don’t think most people are resistant to paying taxes, I just think they don’t like paying taxes and then watching the money be wasted or even outright stolen. The government needs to take care of the money it has before asking for more from people who already can’t spare it.

I thought you only have to declare winnings above a certain amount, like $999 or something like that?

That is what I understood as well , but the threshold is $600.

Thanks for the infromation.

I apologize, but I later realized that ONLY Yahoo news posted this info about another delay for 2023 taxes, however this info is NOT even reported on the IRS website as of now. Therefore, it very well may not be true unfortunately.

It was definitely delayed for 2022. However, the article says nothing about it being delayed again for this current year, 2023. Although, I hope they do. As of now, the IRS website only says the $600 rule was delayed for tax year 2022.

They definitely need to keep people up to date.

They most likely will wait til Dec to announce any changes. It sucks because right now I am $20 short of reaching that threshold, therefore not cashing out on anything to avoid that tax pitfall.

Since taking surveys is my only income I will not be filing income taxes this year even though I am well over the $600. I didn't file last year either.

Just be careful because of Biden's ridiculous tax rule, you "could" be considered self employed if earning $600+ in surveys via paypal. Therefore be required to file taxes.
