Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I made money from a side gig on Venmo, am I supposed to pay taxes on it?”
Money earned through a side gig on Venmo is often treated like taxable income, but the details can depend on how the payments were received, whether the activity was a hobby or a business, and what records were kept for expenses and fees. In many cases, the IRS looks at the underlying work, not just the payment app, so transfers tied to selling services or goods can matter even if the money moved through a personal account. The reporting picture can also vary based on whether any forms were issued and how the activity fits into the rest of a tax return. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
