Side Hustle & Gig Income
“Do I need to report Stripe income from my side hustle on my taxes?”
Stripe income from a side hustle is often part of taxable business or self-employment income, even when it is paid through a payment platform rather than directly by customers. The reporting picture usually depends on how the activity is organized, whether it is a hobby or an ongoing business, and what records exist for gross receipts, refunds, and platform fees. The forms that may be involved can also vary based on the type of payments received and any information reporting issued by Stripe or other third parties. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
