Not every public apology from a CEO resonates — which is why a recent memo from Poshmark founder Manish Chandra stands out, says a leadership expert. Customers revolted, leaving Poshmark sellers stranded: For many, the loss of sales was worse than any savings they pocketed from the reduced fees, Chandra wrote in an apology blog post last week. "We have decided to revert to our original fee structure effective October 24, 2024," he wrote. That's a rare effective CEO apology, says Talia Fox, a leadership strategist, author and head of KUSI Global, an executive consulting firm. "Even the smallest gesture ... some tangible incentive that backs up the apology [can go a long way]."

The change might have resulted in 44 million more 1099-K forms being sent in January to such filers, including small business owners, freelancers, those with side hustles and gig workers. Regardless of delay or rule change, your tax obligations remain the sameNeither the delay of the rule change nor the eventual implementation of it will change your tax burden in any way. That’s because you have always been obligated as a taxpayer to report the money you make from your business activities to the IRS. The difference once the rule change goes into effect is that the IRS will be learning about your business income from a third party payment platform. And the change will effectively pull back the curtain on just how much business income is being generated on third-party payment platforms.
