Course Overview

According to the IRS, the gig economy is an on-demand, sharing, or access economy. People involved in the gig economy typically earn their income as freelancers, independent workers, or employees. The money you earn through these methods is usually taxable.

In this CE/CPE course, we will discuss the tax reporting issues associated with gig workers and tax preparers. Explore the fascinating statistics of the gig economy, with over 57 million gigsters in the US alone and expected to constitute 52% of the US workforce by 2023. We will discover the varied perspectives of what the gig economy encompasses, from the IRS, BLS, and UK government viewpoints, to grasp its true essence. Learn the essential reporting requirements for gig transactions, including Form 1099-K and Form 1099-NEC, and uncover the tax implications of gig workers' income. Gain insights into the key players in the gig economy, such as Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Airbnb, and many more across diverse industries.

Additionally, we will delve into the core topics that shape this dynamic landscape, including the definition of a gig, the future of the gig economy post-pandemic, and the advantages and disadvantages of being a gig worker. Gain a comprehensive understanding of how gig workers are classified as employees, independent contractors, or sole proprietors, with real-world examples to guide you.

Key topics covered in this CE Tax Course:

  • The Emerging gig economy
  • Classification of gig workers as hobbyists, employees, or independent contractors
  • Tax reporting issues associated with workers
  • Tax penalties associated with both the gig workers and tax preparers
