Side Hustle & Gig Income

“What taxes do I owe on side hustle income I got paid through Venmo?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Side hustle income paid through Venmo is often treated like other self-employment income, but the tax picture can depend on what kind of work it was, whether it was for goods or services, and how the payments were reported on your records or tax forms. In many cases, the key factors include your total net profit after expenses, whether you also owe self-employment tax, and whether any state income tax rules apply. The way Venmo transactions were labeled, and whether they were personal transfers or business payments, can also affect how the income is reported. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
