Remember that all income, no matter the amount, is taxable unless the law says otherwise – even if you don’t get a Form 1099-K. If you get money from someone as a gift, reimbursement, or repayment of other personal expenses, that money is not taxable. When possible, note these transactions as personal on apps and websites. Good recordkeeping throughout the year will help you when it comes time to file your tax return.
