Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I understand your point. If you send a "gift" to someone via one of these payment apps and the gift itself or the gift in combination with other payments they may have received is greater than $600 for any one calendar year, it will generate a 1099 for them. Making it a royal pain for them come tax time. Everybody should write their Congressman and have this law abolished or at a minimum have the threshold significantly increased.
