☆ IRS Delays Gig-Tax Filing Rule for Side Hustles of More Than $600
  + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Laura Saunders | Richard Rubin | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Internal Revenue Services postponed the reporting requirement after efforts in Congress failed to delay it or raise the $600 threshold. The Internal Revenue Service on Friday gave millions of Americans a one-year reprieve on new tax-reporting requirements, delaying implementation of a law that requires e-commerce platforms such as eBay , Etsy and Airbnb to give the tax agency information on users with more than $600 in revenue. The delay means the platforms won’t have to send sellers and the IRS a blizzard of 1099-K tax forms early in 2023, and it gives opponents of the $600 threshold more time to push for a change in the law next year.
☆ IRS Urged to Examine Donald Trump’s Loans to His Children
  + stars: | 2022-12-21 | by ( Laura Saunders | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Donald Trump made loans to his children Ivanka, Donald and Eric that the Internal Revenue Service should scrutinize, according to a recommendation by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation to House Ways & Means Committee Chair Richard Neal (D., Mass.). The suggestion was part of the staff’s analysis of Mr. Trump’s tax returns for 2015-2020. According to the report, Mr. Trump declared a total of $51,000 of interest paid to him by his three older children for each tax year from 2015 through 2019. For 2020, the amount of interest dropped to $46,000. The report questioned whether these related-party loans, as they are known, were “bona fide arms-length transactions” or were disguised gifts that should be taxable to Mr. Trump.
☆ A Year-End Surprise: A Tax Bill on Top of Your Mutual-Fund Losses
  + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Laura Saunders | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
