Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I made money from a side gig on PayPal, do I owe the IRS?”
Income from a side gig paid through PayPal can often have tax implications, but the answer usually depends on how the activity is classified, how much was earned, and whether any business expenses or other income sources are involved. PayPal reporting can also matter, since payment records may not match how the income was tracked in your own books. In many cases, the IRS looks at the nature of the work, whether it was a hobby or an ongoing business, and whether the payments were for goods, services, or reimbursements. 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.
