Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I made money from my side hustle on Venmo, is that taxable?”
Money received through Venmo can be taxable when it reflects payment for side hustle work, goods, or services, while personal transfers and reimbursements are often treated differently. The answer typically depends on what the payments were for, whether the activity was a business or occasional selling, and how the income was recorded in your app and tax records. In some cases, the way Venmo reports activity and the supporting transaction history can also matter. For side hustle income, the surrounding facts usually determine how the amounts are characterized and what gets included on a tax return. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
