Side Hustle & Gig Income

“Is the income I got from my side hustle on Stripe subject to taxes?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Income received through Stripe from a side hustle is often treated like other business or self-employment income for tax purposes, but the details depend on what the activity was, whether it was a hobby or an ongoing business, and how the payments were reported on your records and tax forms. The way expenses were tracked, whether any platform fees were deducted, and how much other income you have can also affect the overall picture. In many cases, the key issue is not the payment app itself, but the nature of the work and the documentation behind it. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.

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.
