A2
  • adverb
  • In an appropriate or correct manner
  • Subtitles section
  • I want to warn you about this.
  • I'm talking about the new six hundred dollar IRS rule.
  • It's being implemented this year in twenty twenty three.
  • Up to forty million Americans are going to be impacted, but most people they just don't know it yet.
  • The tax documents, they're going to be sent out in January.
  • So we're talking about four months from now and it's going to catch a lot of people by surprise.
  • So as a refresher,
  • If you've been using PayPal, Cash App or Venmo, you're going to want to make sure that you understand the situation.
  • If you receive six hundred dollars or more of qualifying transactions through a third party payment processor, such as the ones that I just told you, then the IRS will get involved.
  • You're going to receive a tax document.
  • It's called a ten ninety nine K.
  • So, okay, so here's what changed.
  • It used to be a twenty thousand dollar threshold, but now they dropped it down to a six hundred dollar threshold.
  • So first, let's do this.
  • Let's clarify this.
  • I'll give you an example to break this down for you.
  • So let's just say that you had a garage sale, right?
  • And you sold, you sold some furniture for six hundred dollars in total.
  • I bought it from you.
  • So I paid you six hundred dollars.
  • I paid you through PayPal or Cash App or Venmo.
  • With the old rules, if this happened, then nothing would have happened because it's under the twenty thousand dollar threshold and the IRS would have stayed out of it.
  • But now the rules have changed.
  • They dropped the threshold down from twenty thousand dollars to six hundred dollars.
  • This is a big change.
  • So in January, in this type of situation, you're going to get a tax form and you need to make sure that you properly report it.
  • And if you don't, then you're going to have problems with the IRS.
  • Now let's address the problems, and there's gonna be so many problems, but I'll just point out the most relevant one, the most common ones that will happen.
  • So the first one is, I guarantee this is gonna happen, so many innocent Americans, so many innocent taxpayers are gonna get hurt.
  • So I'll give you some examples.
  • So let's just say that you sold a bunch of old clothing.
  • So you sold some clothes for six hundred dollars in total.
  • Okay, in this situation, you're going to receive a tax document saying that you have six hundred dollars of taxable income.
  • All right, so you can say, Brian, listen, you only pay taxes on profits.
  • So you sold that clothing for six hundred dollars, right?
  • But.
  • Those old clothes, they probably cost you, you probably bought them new, and you probably bought them for a total of, let's just say a thousand dollars.
  • So you bought the clothing for a thousand dollars, and then you sold it for six hundred.
  • So you lost money on the transaction.
  • And in that situation, again, you're not going to pay any taxes, because you only pay taxes on your profits.
  • So it sounds easy, that makes sense, but the question is, do you have the receipts?
  • So in this situation, you sold six hundred dollars worth of old clothes.
  • If you get audited, the IRS auditor will ask you to provide receipts for the clothing.
  • If you fail to provide receipts, then it's going to look like, well, it's going to look like you got those clothes for free and that six hundred dollars that you made was pure profits and that you're going to have to pay taxes on that.
  • But you might say, Brian,
  • How am I supposed to come up with receipts for old clothes that you probably bought years ago, right?
  • Well, the IRS is going to say that that's your problem, and you know what?
  • You're guilty until you're proven innocent.
  • That's how it works.
  • And if you think that sounds unfair, if that's unreasonable, that's just the way it is.
  • That's how the system works.
  • You are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent.
  • I'm sure that there's people that are watching that have been through an IRS audit, some IRS audit victims, they will confirm in the comments down below, this is how it works, that's the system, that's how it is.
  • And if you say, okay, listen, Brian, only certain IRS agents would be that uptight and only certain agents would take it that far, would basically be that extreme.
  • Okay, so let's just say that you get lucky, you get a very understanding and you get a sympathetic IRS agent.
  • Well, you still have to suffer through the emotional damage and waste your time with an IRS audit, and obviously that's not cool.
  • And trust me, these IRS audits, they drag out for months, and it's very stressful.
  • During that whole time, you're just stressed out because it's hanging over your head.
  • And I would tell you good luck getting an understanding and a sympathetic IRS agent because they love to go on power trips.
  • So I know from experience.
  • So I'm sure that there are some reasonable IRS agents.
  • I'm sure that some of them, they do exist, but the odds are that you're not gonna get one of those.
  • And another thing is that I wanna point this out then.
  • Most people don't realize that they're going to spend more money on their tax preparation fees.
  • So do you use TurboTax?
  • Do you use H&R Block?
  • Do you use an accountant?
  • So guess what?
  • Any of those, they're gonna charge you by the form, by the schedule, by the activity.
  • It's just gonna be an upcharge.
  • You're gonna end up paying more money for tax preparation services.
  • If you get this tax document, it's called a ten ninety nine K, your accountants or your software will charge you more.
  • I personally, I just checked TurboTax.
  • It's gonna cost you an extra about AD or a hundred dollars.
  • You can check it for yourself.
  • An accountant is gonna charge much more than that.
  • So that's because you have to fill out additional schedules on your ten forty.
  • It's called the schedule C. So you can try to put this ten ninety nine K, you can try to put into other income, but if you have offsetting expenses, then you can't do that.
  • And that's gonna be the situation in most of the cases.
  • I apologize for nerding out, but
  • It's just the way it is.
  • Additionally, I want to say this because I know this is going to happen.
  • This is inevitable.
  • People are going to make errors with their ten ninety nine K tax forms and they're going to end up paying more taxes than they should unknowingly.
  • Another thing that bothers me is that the IRS, so this is my opinion, they're wasting their resources.
  • Well, I should say our resources because they're going to be wasting taxpayer money going after these.
  • What are these cases?
  • Six hundred dollar cases, seven, eight hundred dollar cases.
  • For example, if you sold Taylor Swift tickets on StubHub, you're probably going to get a ten ninety nine K. The average price of a Taylor Swift ticket was one thousand one hundred dollars.
  • OK, so the politicians decided to lower the threshold from twenty thousand dollars to six hundred dollars is a big change.
  • The reason was that they wanted to go after tax cheats.
  • So that's the narrative.
  • I don't know how efficient that this is going to be.
  • I don't know if this is a good utilization or allocation of resources.
  • I don't know if this makes sense, just generally speaking.
  • So let me know your thoughts.
  • But some people support this change.
  • They're saying, the people that support this, they're saying, no mercy.
  • You got to pay your taxes.
  • Six hundred dollars is six hundred dollars, right?
  • So for example, if you're a teenage babysitter and you get paid by Venmo or Cash App, then you better not screw this up, kid, otherwise you're gonna get audited.
  • So did you sell some baby accessories on Facebook Marketplace?
  • If you did, then you better dig up those receipts, just in case.
  • If you have a garage sale, then you might wanna consider asking for cash or another form of payments.
  • If your kid has a lemonade sale,
  • You know, tell them to stop sales at five hundred ninety nine dollars because that's the maximum for the year, not for the day.
  • Sales stops at five hundred ninety nine dollars because remember, if you hit that six hundred dollar threshold, then you're going to be dealing with the IRS.
  • So I would recommend that you tell your kids that the extra one dollar, it's not going to be worth the headache of dealing with the IRS.
  • Just my opinion.
  • Okay, so you have to remember that this is applicable to goods or services that are sold.
  • Therefore, if you're simply just splitting the check at a restaurant, that is not a qualifying transaction, so you're going to be good in that case.
  • If your parents are going to send you money, if they're helping out with rents or whatever it may be, that doesn't qualify either, so you're good there.
  • Sending money for birthday presents, for graduation gifts, gifts in general, those are not qualifying transactions, so you're good there.
  • However,
  • It's very important.
  • Make sure that the sender, you know, that could be, if you're the recipient, let them know.
  • And if you're the sender, make sure you do this right.
  • Make sure that the sender doesn't mess up the categorization when they send the money.
  • Otherwise, it will trigger a tax form.
  • So for example, when you send money through PayPal, PayPal is gonna ask you to identify what this money is being sent for.
  • Is this for a gift or is this for goods and services?
  • So make sure that you pick the appropriate one.
  • So I wanna give you some workarounds, I'm just trying to help you.
  • First, you could always use the loopholes.
  • So this is not illegal, you're just using a different payment form, a different payment method.
  • So for example, if you have a garage sale and the buyer wants to pay you through PayPal or Venmo or Cash App, instead, you can ask for cash, you can ask for crypto or Zelle.
  • So Chase, QuickPay, or Zelle is not considered a third party transaction processor and that will not trigger a ten ninety nine K. Now I want to read you this official statement from Zelle.
  • Zelle payments are not subject to this law because Zelle facilitates messaging between financial institutions but does not hold accounts or handle settlement of funds.
  • So, ultimately, Zelle does not fit the definition of a third party payment processor.
  • Therefore, Zelle is exempt from these IRS reporting requirements.
  • So, Zelle is not going to report these transactions to the IRS and the ten ninety nine K will not be issued.
  • So, ultimately, if you're passing money around for non business purposes, then you don't worry about this and you're going to be good unless there's reporting errors.
  • And then you can get dragged into this erroneously, which is going to happen to some people, unfortunately.
  • But if you're making some money off a side hustle, or if you're making some money off freelancing work or a gig, this is going to seriously affect you.
  • And it is expected to affect millions of Americans.
  • Now, I do want to mention this.
  • I want to bring this up because it's very important.
  • This rule was actually supposed to be implemented last year in the year, in the year.
  • However, the IRS said that the payment processors, as well as the recipients, they weren't ready for this.
  • It got too complicated.
  • It was close to the deadline, the end of the year.
  • And then they decided to push this and delay it into the year.
  • So if you're expecting that this will get delayed again from the year to the year,
  • I don't think that's going to happen.
  • It doesn't look like it.
  • IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said, the threshold has changed from twenty thousand to six hundred and it goes live this year.
  • So, that was his latest statements regarding the subject matter.
  • So, the politicians are attempting to raise the threshold from six hundred dollars to ten thousand dollars.
  • They're not trying to revert it back to twenty thousand.
  • They're just trying to find the, I guess, the middle ground, ten thousand.
  • But if you've been following the developments in D.C.
  • and Congress, you know that they have bigger fish to fry at the moment.
  • So it doesn't look like this is gonna change by January.
  • Just my honest assessments.
  • Okay, so that's the situation with the ten ninety nine K, the six hundred dollar threshold.
  • Please let me know what you think about the situation.
  • I look forward to reading your comments.
  • Thank you so much.
  • Please subscribe and I wish you a very nice day.
  • Take care.
