What sort of documentation would be necessary and what course of action do you think the IRS would take?

Thanks for your advice.

If you're making a substantial amount of money (over $5k/month i'd say), through these services you NEED to be able to have records of it, because the IRS will audit you eventually. It may take 8 years however lol

Best just to file for it now and pay it then deal with it later

For instance, if i send thousands of dollars through my account, report my earnings based on the % i made, and pay the taxes every year, will they fuck with me until the? For instance, if i deal 20k in the next 3 months, will I see any action being taken?

The IRS is a completely shit level government program in terms of efficiency, so they probably won't catch up to you for years down the road from now. But they will, and when they do, they're going to MAKE you pay it lol

So better to just keep records and file for it. Use turbotax or H&R Block

Just save those in a folder on your PC or print them or something.

No, not by the IRS as long as you're paying taxes they PROBABLY won't care (although if they audit you they're gonna want to know where it came from)

But cashapp/paypal may have some say in your account standing, but that's unrelated form any government intervention
