IRS Launches New Gig Economy Tax Center

The IRS this week launched a new Gig Economy Tax Center on IRS.gov to help people in this growing area meet their tax obligations.

"The IRS developed this online center to help taxpayers in this emerging segment of the economy," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "Whether renting out a spare bedroom or providing car rides, we want people to understand the rules so they can stay compliant with their taxes and avoid surprises down the line."

The Gig Economy Tax Center streamlines various resources, making it easier for taxpayers to find information about the tax implications for the companies that provide the services and the individuals who perform them.
