Side Hustle & Gig Income

“Would I owe tax on the Zelle payments I received from my side hustle?”

CommonQuick Question · 30 min · $95

Zelle payments from a side hustle can create tax questions depending on what the payments were for, how often they were received, and whether they were tied to goods, services, or reimbursement of personal expenses. In many cases, the tax treatment turns on the underlying activity rather than the payment app itself, so records showing who paid you and why can matter. Business expenses, mixed personal and business transfers, and any related reporting forms can also affect how the income is viewed. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.

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.
