Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I got paid through Zelle for my side hustle, does that count as taxable income?”
Payments received through Zelle for side hustle work are often treated like other business income, but the tax treatment can depend on what the payment was for, whether the activity was a hobby or an ongoing business, and how the records were kept. The way the money moved, including whether it went to a personal account or a separate business account, does not by itself determine the tax result. In many cases, the key questions are who paid you, what services or goods were provided, and whether the income was already reported through other records or forms. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
