Side hustles and tax implications
Extra income you make from side hustles may need to be reported to the IRS.
If you receive more than $600 in gross payouts from a selling platform like eBay, the site will issue you a Form 1099-K to use in your tax return.
Individuals should calculate their adjusted gross income, taxable earnings, and deductions for the year.
Once they have that, they can use the 1040-ES form to calculate estimated taxes.
“It’s actually so nice getting out of the house and making a little extra money.”
A second person said: “This is such a good idea for a side hustle.”
A third person said: “I would love this job, cleaning is such a stress reliever for me.”
A fourth person added: “Yes, I love that side hustle grind.”
