πŸ’Ό Is Your Side Hustle a Business or Just a Hobby?

Many people earn extra income doing something they enjoy, but when tax time comes, it's important to understand whether the IRS considers your activity a business or a hobby.

Generally:
βœ… A business operates with the intent to make a profit.
βœ… A hobby is primarily for personal enjoyment or recreation.

Ask yourself these questions:

πŸ”Ή Do you intend to make a profit?
πŸ”Ή Are you making money, or do you expect future profits?
πŸ”Ή Do you rely on the income for your livelihood?
πŸ”Ή Are you making changes to improve profitability?
πŸ”Ή Do you keep complete and accurate records?
πŸ”Ή Do you operate the activity in a businesslike manner?
πŸ”Ή Do you have the knowledge or professional guidance needed to succeed?
πŸ”Ή Are losses due to startup costs or circumstances beyond your control?

Remember, no single factor determines whether an activity is a hobby or a businessβ€”the IRS looks at the overall picture.

πŸ“Œ Important: If you receive payments for goods or services through payment apps, you may receive a Form 1099-K. If you're paid with digital assets, you may receive a Form 1099-DA. These payments may be taxable and should be properly reported.

πŸ—‚οΈ Good recordkeeping throughout the year can make tax season much easier, regardless of whether your activity is a hobby or a business.

Need help determining how your income should be reported? Our team is here to help!
