IRS Delays Gig-Tax Filing Rule for Side Hustles of More Than $600 (wsj.com) 125

Posted by msmash from the some-relief dept.
The Internal Revenue Service on Friday gave millions of Americans a one-year reprieve on new tax-reporting requirements, delaying implementation of a law that requires e-commerce platforms such as eBay, Etsy and Airbnb to give the tax agency information on users with more than $600 in revenue. From a report: The delay means the platforms won't have to send sellers and the IRS a blizzard of 1099-K tax forms early in 2023, and it gives opponents of the $600 threshold more time to 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," said Acting IRS Commissioner Doug O'Donnell. Congress passed the $600 threshold for Form 1099-K reports as part of the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021, scheduling it to take effect for tax year 2022. Until the change, platforms had to report users' income to the IRS if they had more than 200 transactions and $20,000 of revenue. Lawmakers lowered the threshold to boost tax compliance in an area where it is often lacking -- unreported business income.

          This all has nothing to do with it. It is election season, so expect this to be delayed again. This is in lieu of audits by the IRS for hundreds of tax dollars /person. What we should do is forego income entirely, from businesses and individuals. We should tax only on consumption. A nations sales tax. No IRS. No returns. Incentivize saving money in your local bank so they can lend it out, paying interest to you, collecting interest from lendees. That would be the best solution. Every billionaire with a yacht would pay hefty consumption tax and the rate can be adjusted annually to the prior yearâ(TM)s expenditures. We get all the government we pay for. We allow the existing bonds to expire over the next 30 years, and issue no new bonds. We will be debt free and fully funded. Everyone pays their share

          • Try one weird trick that no civilization has ever made work! (Tax collectors hate it!)

            Also, snark aside, we had an election just over a month ago. If it is "election season" again already, then we should be happy that our representatives feel so accountable.

            • Tax collectors hate it because it simplifies tax collecting and allows no subsidies or special interests. No civilization has made it work? You must not be from one of the 44 states with sales tax. Also, those are not decent counterarguments. No civilization had made electricity work, so maybe Edison and Tesla should have gone into other fields

            You must certainly be aware billionaires would evade the tax by buying it out of the country. NY state has huge problems collecting art purchases for this very reason. Rich buy it out of state. How hard do you think it is for the very rich to buy it out of the country. And as you are also certainly aware, sales taxes are highly regressive. Income taxes at least can try to be progressive and usually are up to the very rich. It is impossible for someone working at google making 300K/yr to not claim the income. The W-2 is pretty obvious.

            • sales taxes are highly regressive.

              A pure sales tax is regressive.

              In practice, sales taxes usually exclude food, rent, and other necessities[1], making them much less regressive.

              Everything doesn't have to be taxed at the same rate. We already have higher taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and gasoline. We could do the same for luxury goods like yachts and expensive cars.

                This backfires every time it's tried - I remember when the US gov't had the brilliant idea to tax luxury yachts to finally get millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share, only it clobbered the shipbuilders and ancillary industries putting thousands of workers out of their jobs.

                • it clobbered the shipbuilders and ancillary industries putting thousands of workers out of their jobs.

                  This is the Broken Window Fallacy [wikipedia.org].

                  If vandals don't break windows, glaziers will be unemployed. If rich guys don't buy yachts, shipbuilders will be unemployed.

                  But in both cases, the money will be spent on something else (or invested), generating jobs elsewhere in the economy.

            • How are sales taxes regressive if everyone pays the same rate on every thing? That is perfectly, absolutely fair. Neither regressive nor progressive
              • If you do not understand this fundamental fact of economics, useless to discuss with you. I'm out.
                • Great argument. Sales Taxes are neither regressive nor progressive. They are perfectly fair. Everyone should be paying the same rate. Progressive Taxes are poorly named (maybe punitive would be better) and regressive taxes are what we actually have in many circumstances since the wealthy used the 14,000 page tax code better than some poor schmuck getting his W2 paycheck taxes paid to the government for him whether he likes it or not.

              • Because the 7% tax on an item "hurts" the lower-income person than the wealthy person.

                The fact that everyone pays the same amount on their purchase of the same item at the same price, while mathematically fair can easily be described hurting the lower-income voter for political advantage, claiming "they can't afford it."

                Politicians have convinced people that pay no net income taxes that people that actually pay any net income taxes are somehow not paying their fair share and need to be paying more...

                • What is fair is fair. Regressive taxes tax poor people more, like income vs capital gains. What is what we have now. Progressive taxes tax wealthier people more like the buckets of income tax.

                  A sales tax is neither regressive nor progressive if all services are taxed at the same rate.

        If/when BTC gets wider recognition, the IRS may follow suit. This means that as long as BTC is stable an unchanged, this increases the likelihood that the IRS will change.

    • You know they're regulating crypto now too right? But even if they weren't what good is it going to do to have crypto if you can't spend it anywhere. The reason this is a problem is because you get people who are just selling a handful of things on eBay or paying somebody back for lunch. You can't really do that with crypto because cryptos value swings too wildly to make it a useful store of value.
      • Stablecoins don't swing a tall. PAXG doesn't swing much since it matches the price of gold. Bitcoin will always swing, but the more that people will use Bitcoin, the less the swings will matter. DCAing into Bitcoin over two years can make it a store of value.

      LOL! Crypto is a scam, not a currency. Unlike cash, Crypto leaves an indelible paper trail. Only an idiot would try to use crypto to hide income form the IRS.

      Then again, criminal scumbag tax cheats like you aren't known for being the best and brightest.

      Good luck unloading your monopoly money. You're very rapidly running out of suckers.

      • It is you who is the criminal scumbag for hiding the truth about national fiat currencies. They have devalued over 99% over the last one hundred years. They're subject to prolonged high rates of inflation. In comparison, gold has preserved value pretty well. Dumbasses like you are the reason the government fucks over the people.
    • Great idea, let me use a bullshit ponzi coin that can tank value at any time.

    • Cash exists. Crypto exists. Private wallets exist. Stablecoins, gold-backed coins (PAXG), bitcoin lightning, and Monero exist. Learn to use them.

      One of those is not like the other. Specifically you have be quite stupid to use crypto - a system that maintains a public an open ledger of transactions in any attempt to dodge taxes.

      But then you're promoting the use of crypto so stupid is par for the course.

      • Only a stupid person would make such simplistic assumptions. Layer 2 Lightning transactions with Bitcoin are not done on easy trackable ledger. Secondly, Tor and open wifis exist. Third, Monero is not an open ledger. You're assuming the use of unsafe crypto, so ignorant is par for the course. Next time, remember to use a comma.

    What if instead of going after people who make nik-naks in their studio apartment they added a heavy tax on people/corporations that own more than one house? I guess that would hit the "wrong" people

    • Most states tax property, some like texas substantially so. In TX, you get to claim the homeowners exemption on only one property if you have multiple. And it must be your "primary". This is precisely what Herschel W in some trouble, While running for Senate in GA he was claiming homeowner exemption in TX, Oops. If he had a nice house in TX, say 5M value, multiply by .02 and get 100K due annually. Exemption saves a bit, so he claimed it.

    • I lnow people who make about $100k off etsy, facebook market, and ebay. They should be paying their taxes just like me. It's only fair.

      • I agree that if you make 100k from your activities, that should be taxable. I think most people that understand the necessity of taxes would agree. After a couple dozen thousand dollars, your side hustle might be becoming your main hustle and actually be paying your bills. The change to this law to reduce the limit is hard to construe as anything other than a grab at struggling people's money. I'm having trouble thinking of ways to take rich (actually rich, not "I have money left after rent and groceries" r
