Higher Tax Reporting Threshold Reinstated for Gig Economy and Online Sellers.

This Act reinstates the previous, higher threshold for third-party payment platforms reporting income from gig work and online sales to the IRS. Platforms will only issue tax forms (1099-K) if a taxpayer's gross income exceeds $20,000 and involves more than 200 transactions annually. This change reduces the administrative burden and paperwork for individuals earning small amounts through the gig economy or casual online selling.
Key points
Raises the threshold for third-party payment organizations (like gig platforms or online marketplaces) to report income to the IRS.
The new reporting requirement is triggered only if income exceeds $20,000 AND the number of transactions exceeds 200.
This reverses the lower $600 threshold previously introduced by the American Rescue Plan Act.
The change applies retroactively to calendar years beginning after December 31, 2021.
