Brookline, NH Taxpayer Has Questions
With the prevalence of money exchanged on Venmo, PayPal, and other cash apps, the IRS has stated that it will be cracking down on those receiving cash app money exceeding $600 in the calendar year. The threshold for receiving third-party payments is $600. When the amount exceeds this, the recipient is required to file a 1099-K. In past years Form 1099-K was only required for gross income from cash apps exceeding $20,000 or more than 200 separate transactions during the calendar year. This change will affect many sellers who receive payment through these cash apps.
