Side Hustle & Gig Income
“I used Venmo for my side hustle and made money, do I owe taxes?”
Money received through Venmo for a side hustle can often have tax implications, but the answer usually depends on how the activity is classified, whether the payments were for goods or services, and what records were kept for expenses and fees. In many cases, payment platforms also issue reporting forms based on account activity, which can affect how the income is reported. Whether the work was occasional or ongoing, and whether it was operated like a business, are common factors in determining how the income is treated on a tax return. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
