Hobby or Side Hustle?
Hobbies and businesses differ in tax treatment, with businesses aiming for profit and hobbies pursued for pleasure. Deciding if an activity is a hobby or business requires considering multiple factors, as no single factor is conclusive. Taxpayers should review all the facts to make a good decision.
