Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act

Introduced January 9, 2023

AI-Generated Summary

Updated January 20, 2026 at 1:48 AM UTC

The Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act would roll back a change made by the American Rescue Plan that eliminated a reporting exemption for small payments processed by third‑party settlement organizations (such as credit‑card processors). By restoring the old rule, the bill limits reporting to larger volumes of payments, easing the tax‑reporting burden on gig workers and small businesses that receive many low‑value transactions.

Key Provisions

  • Amends Internal Revenue Code §6050W(e) to require third‑party settlement organizations to report only if the total amount of payments exceeds $20,000 and the number of transactions exceeds 200.
  • Restores the pre‑American Rescue Plan de‑minimis exception for these organizations.
  • Applies the amendment to tax returns for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2021.
