In early 2025, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will start receiving notification of the Americans who received $5,000 or more through "Payment Card and Third-Party Network Transactions" during Year 2024.
According to the IRS, "Third party payment organizations include many popular payment apps and online marketplaces."
A few examples of these digital platforms: Airbnb, Block, and StubHub.

Many Americans complain about the taxes that they pay. Few Americans want to pay more taxes than they absolutely have to pay no matter what.
(Yes, there are a few Americans who state – publicly – that they want to pay more in taxes. These individuals are usually very wealthy – very, very wealthy – and could choose to pay more for governmental operations if they actually wanted to do so. They would just write a check – or wire the funds – to the governmental entity of their choice. Some do that, but the reality is that very few Americans do so.)
Yet, Americans also want – nay, demand – a wide variety of services from those same governmental entities.
You can't typically get those services without someone paying the bills.
