Week 49 ~
Prepare to be Financially Tracked
Get Your Tax information in order.
PREPARE FOR AUDITS
Starting in 2023, if you have used $CashApp, Venmo, Paypal or any other third party payment debit card, the Government will tax you on all transactions over the amount of $600. This means you will have to prove where the money came from or went to.
The way I understand it is, if I wanted to make some extra money from a side hustle by babysitting for a month and I make more then $600, the third party payment debit card companies will forward that information to the IRS and I will receive an IRS Form 1099k to file the side hustle for the tax year. Now is the time to backtrack and take a look at your accounts with the third party companies you have used in the past.
Here are videos explaining the process from Lena Petrova CPA. IRS to Monitor every Deposit and Withdrawals and IRS Warning: New $600 Paypal and Venmo Transactions. Get your tax records in order. Take note that when this takes effect, Uncle Sam will know all your personal and business transactions.
