Bookkeeping Service

 There are a few things people should consider when deciding whether their project is a hobby or 

business. No single thing is the deciding factor. Taxpayers should review all the factors to make a good 

decision.

How taxpayers can decide if it's a hobby or business

These questions can help taxpayers decide whether they have a hobby or business:

Does the time and effort they put into the activity show they intend to make a profit?

 Does the activity make a profit in some years, and if so, how much profit does it make?  

Can they expect to make a future profit from the appreciation of the assets used in the activity?  

Do they depend on income from the activity for their livelihood?  

if someone are paid through payment apps for goods and services during the year, they may receive an IRS Form 1099-K for those transactions. These payments are taxable income and must be reported on federal tax returns.
