In 2022 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service announced that online payment platforms must report all transactions made by individuals that are over $600. The rule would result in online sellers, resellers and gig workers having to report more earnings to the IRS. Under the previous law online platforms had to send reports to the IRS if a vendor earned more than $20,000 and had over 200 transactions.
