This bill would roll back a newer tax reporting rule for payment apps and other third-party payment services, such as platforms used by gig workers and small sellers. It would return to the older rule that only requires these services to report payments to the IRS when a person has more than 200 transactions and more than $20,000 in payments in a year. It also makes sure backup tax withholding follows the same higher reporting threshold. Supporters say this would reduce paperwork and confusion for people who receive smaller numbers of payments through digital platforms.
- It restores the pre-American Rescue Plan reporting standard for third-party settlement organizations.
- Under the bill, reporting to the IRS would be required only if both of these are true in a calendar year: more than 200 transactions and more than $20,000 in total payments.
- It also changes backup withholding rules so payments are treated as reportable only when they meet that same threshold.
- The new withholding rule would apply to calendar years beginning after December 31, 2024.
