Side Hustle & Gig Income
“Does Zelle income from my side hustle count as taxable income for me?”
Income received through Zelle for a side hustle is often treated the same as other business income, but the tax treatment depends on what the payments were for, whether the activity is a hobby or an ongoing business, and how the records are kept. The source of the payment, the customer’s intent, and whether Zelle was used for personal transfers or sales can all affect the analysis. Reporting can also depend on whether the income was tracked separately from other accounts and whether any related expenses are documented. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
