Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:18:16 GMT

By FATIMA HUSSEIN (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Users of Venmo, Cash App and other payment apps will get a tax reprieve this year. The IRS announced Tuesday it will delay implementing new reporting requirements that were to take effect for the upcoming tax filing season.Originally, app users who made $600 or more selling goods and services would have been required to report those transactions to the IRS, a new threshold required by the American Rescue Plan passed in March 2021. Instead, payment apps and online marketplaces will send out separate tax forms — called 1099-K documents — for taxpayers who receive over $20,000 and make over 200 transactions selling goods or services. For 2024, the basic reporting threshold will be increased from $600 to $5,000, the IRS said.IRS officials say one reason for the delay is taxpayer confusion over what sorts of transaction are reportable.For instance, peer-to-peer transactions, like selling a couch or car, sending rent ...
