Does it seem lately like every single client has some sort of side hustle requiring the filing of an IRS Schedule C Form, Profit or Loss From Business? You’re not alone. More and more, we’re seeing taxpayers engaged in a wide variety of gig activities. That leaves many wondering if their side hustle should be classified as a hobby or a business, especially when they are filling out an IRS Schedule C form.
This course examines the many gray areas that must be considered to correctly determine if an activity is a business or a hobby. Key to this determination is the 9-factor test the IRS and Tax Courts use when considering this situation in an audit or court case. We’ll use case studies to show how that 9-factor test can help us make the call.
Join this Canopy course now to better understand schedule C, the IRS 9-factor test and gain confidence in making the business vs hobby distinction.
