The common misconception that 1099 income is only reportable after reaching a certain threshold is incorrect. All business profit is taxable income, and there’s no minimum for the IRS to tax your 1099 income.
The nuance arises because companies that use contract workers are only required to issue a 1099-NEC if they have paid that individual $600 or more in a given tax year. The thresholds for 1099-K are as follows:
- 2024: The threshold is $5,000 in gross payments, with no minimum transaction requirement.
- 2025: The threshold will be $2,500 in gross payments, with no minimum transaction requirement.
- 2026 and after: The threshold is scheduled to be $600 in gross payments, with no minimum transaction requirement.
Therefore, even if you don't receive a 1099 for your work, you are still required to report income.
However, if you have earned less than $400 during the tax year, you are not obligated to pay self-employment tax on your income.
