> 3. This will kill any flexibility of doing small work and only becoming regularized once it's worth it. If you made $800 of freelance work, is that really worth the headaches of reporting it? Might as well not do the work and avoid the paperwork involved with that.
You’ve always had to report freelance work, even before this policy.
It’s not that difficult at all. Any of the tax prep software out there will walk you through it.
It’s trivially easy to report small jobs. $800 would definitely be worth keeping the documentation and typing a few numbers into the tax software at the end of the year.
- csomar 5y agoYou seem to have missed this part. > And before someone blurb out the usual crap about pay your taxes and that shit. People who make below the taxable rate are not in a position to use TurboTax, understand the different forms or read regulation. They do not pay a tax for a reason (too little income) and I think they should be exonerated from these forms because of the reasons that made them make less than the taxable rate (they don't understand the forms). Not everyone doing freelance work is a software engineer.
