Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I got paid through Zelle for my side hustle, does that have to be reported?”
Payments received through Zelle for side hustle work can still be relevant for tax reporting, even though the app itself is just a payment method. The answer often depends on what kind of work was paid for, whether the activity was a business or occasional side work, and how the payments were recorded in your books or bank statements. In many cases, the reporting question also turns on whether any fees, refunds, or personal transfers are mixed in with the business activity. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
