The tax code was changed earlier this year by the administration of President Joe Biden. Payment app providers will be required to issue users a 1099-K form for all business transactions if they total more than $600 per year as a result of the tax change.
The form was only required if a user had more than 200 business transactions worth at least $20,000 for the year.
Millions of Americans with small businesses or side hustles will be affected by the new requirement. According to the American Rescue Plan, the new tax policy of the I.R.S is expected to raise $8 billion in additional tax revenue over the next ten years.

Taxpayers running small businesses who mix personal and business transactions on the payment apps may be confused by the changes. If they can't locate old receipts that show how much the item depreciated, they'll face higher taxes.
Legislation was proposed last week to block the IRS tax expansion to reverse the increase in financial transactions reported on the payment apps. Scott told The Times that the Biden administration is changing I.R.S. standards to begin tracking all financial transactions over $600. The violation of Americans' privacy is outrageous.

The I.R.S. warned taxpayers last month to make sure they have their financial documents in order before they file their taxes.
According to the I.R.S., a little extra caution could save people more time.
At least 50 million taxpayers are expected to be affected by the new tax requirements that have been implemented in the American Rescue Plan according to a partner at the law firm.
If Congress doesn't act, there will be a wave of 1099s going out to people who will be confused
The Treasury and the I.R.S. are laser focused on identifying a solution to address any challenges taxpayers may face this filing season, according to a Treasury Department spokesman.
