San Jose, CA, United States, 8th Dec 2022 — FlyFin, the world’s number one AI-based tax preparation and tax filing service, introduced a list of tax hacks to help self-employed people save on their taxes. FlyFin’s new resources offer a variety of ways to reduce taxable income and directly lower the amount of tax owed. The new resources cover a variety of topics, including strategies for responsibly paying taxes, highlighting potential penalties and deductible expenses that may not be on the radar for many taxpayers.
In particular, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 resulted in a new IRS rule requiring a $600 threshold on payment apps such as Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, etc. In response to this new tax law, FlyFin’s new resources aim to simplify the tax filing process around the new tax filing rule. According to the SBA, there are approximately 30 million small businesses, freelancers, solo-preneurs and independent contractors in the US as of 2019. The new tax rule will affect this collective group for the 2022 tax year in the following ways:
- Freelancers and gig workers will be required to report any payments of $600 or more made through payment apps, regardless of the number of transactions, as income on their tax returns.
- Small business owners will be required to issue Form 1099-K for payments of $600 or more made through payment apps, regardless of the number of transactions. A 1099-K form must be filed with the IRS by January 31 of the following year.
- Freelancers and gig workers will be required to pay self-employment taxes on any payments of $600 or more made through payment apps, regardless of the number of transactions.
- Small business owners may be penalized for failing to issue Form 1099-K for payments of $600 or more made through payment apps, regardless of the number of transactions.
