Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I got paid through Cash App for my side hustle, do I owe tax on that money?”
Money received through Cash App for side hustle work is often treated like taxable business income, but the answer can depend on what the payment was for, whether it was payment for goods or services, and how the activity is reported in your records. The tax treatment can also vary based on whether you are operating as a casual seller, an independent contractor, or a small business, since those facts affect how income and related expenses are viewed. Payment app reporting, bank records, and any Forms you receive are usually important pieces of the picture. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
