The IRS on Tuesday shared tips for the upcoming tax season — including a reminder about the new $600 threshold for receiving Form 1099-K for third-party payments.
The change applies to payments from third-party networks, such as Venmo or PayPal, for transactions such as part-time work, side jobs or selling goods, according to the IRS.
Before 2022, the federal Form 1099-K reporting threshold was for taxpayers with more than 200 transactions worth an aggregate above $20,000. However, Congress slashed the limit as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and a single transaction over $600 may now trigger the form.

Just be careful if PayPal or I think Venmo. They DO NOT send a copy in the mail like every other tax document. They expect you to download it.

I got a bill with penalties from the IRS 2 years later. Whatever PayPal sends them, they count as income with no cost basis associated with it so you’re taxed as pure income. Ticketmaster is doing it this year too.

Have to download a form c and factor in cost of goods, mileage and all the other Bs.

Not fun.
