AdvertisementRelocating is a major decisionWhen you relocate for a job, you're choosing to pack up your belongings and say goodbye to friends and family. In Amazon terms, this decision is largely viewed as a one-way-door decision; a decision where you can't easily hit the undo button with your actions.

The IRS is doing a favor for itself and President Biden as much as it is for Americans. Readers may recall that the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021 lowered the threshold for third parties reporting transactions on Form 1099-K to $600 annually from $20,000. Democrats’ goal was to nab Americans who allegedly dodge taxes by failing to report income earned from, say, driving for Uber or renting out second homes on Airbnb.

If you received business payments via apps such as PayPal or Venmo or e-commerce companies such as eBay , Etsy or Poshmark in 2023, your tax return may now be a little less complicated. The IRS announced Tuesday that 2023 would be a "transition year" for a new tax reporting requirement affecting such payments. Once in place, it will trigger Form 1099-K for just $600 in payments, even if that income stemmed from a single business transaction. For 2023, the old limit of more than 200 transactions worth an aggregate above $20,000 will remain in place. The agency said it also plans on updates for Form 1040, which is used by taxpayers to file individual income tax returns, and related schedules, to "make the reporting process easier."

Hashtag searches for dupes of major brands - including Skims underwear and Deckers' (DECK.N) Ugg boots - have been viewed millions of times on TikTok. Graphic shows pictures of four original products and their original prices under named brands compared with the prices of their 'dupe' counterparts. Newer technologies like the Google Lens app allow people to take photos of items they like and find similar products for sale. In other cases, dupe sellers opt to replicate the look of higher-priced originals with cheaper materials to maximize profit. However, experts say dupe sellers have grown increasingly skilled at avoiding brand logos and other design features that could infringe existing patents or copyrights.
