Cash App transactions are taxed only if they represent business income, not personal transfers between friends or family. For the 2025 tax year, Cash App reports business payments to the IRS via Form 1099-K if they exceed $20,000 in a calendar year. Personal, non-commercial payments are not subject to these reporting requirements.

The $600 rule 1-(866)-707-0587 on Cash App refers to a tax reporting requirement by the IRS. If you receive $600 or more in payments for goods or services through Cash App 1-(866)-707-0587 in a calendar year, Cash App is required to issue a Form 1099-K to both you and the IRS.
If you have a business account and receive more than $20,000 in gross payments and more than 200 transactions in 2025, we'll issue you a Form 1099-K by February 2, 2026. These reporting requirements do not apply to personal Cash App accounts because those transactions are for personal, non-commercial purposes.
For the 2025 tax year (filed in 2026), Cash App reports to the IRS for business accounts receiving over $20,000 and more than 200 transactions; however, you must report all taxable income from goods/services, even if you don't get a 1099-K, and some states have lower thresholds (like $600 for DC). The long-term plan is a $600 federal threshold, but this is delayed, so for now, the $20,000/200 transaction rule applies for federal reporting.
For the 2025 tax year, Cash App will report transactions on a Form 1099-K when the amount of total business payments is more than $20,000 and there are more than 200 business payments within the calendar year.
