> pay service providers, send money to family

how does the recipient of a zelle transaction know if it’s tax worthy (aka needs to go on 1099) or just sending money to family? i don’t see a way to “tag”/“flag” transactions

same goes for cashapp



I would assume the recipient would know if they exchanged a good or service to be taxed. Usually family members know they are family members.


this is a feature, not a bug


> Zelle® does not impose taxes on transactions made on its network. If payments you receive on the Zelle Network® are taxable, it is your responsibility to report them to the IRS. If you have any questions about your tax obligations, please consult with a tax professional.

Got it.
