Cash App introduced a new optional service called 'Earn in P2P' that allows eligible sole proprietors to receive business payments directly in their personal Cash App account without opening a separate business account. The service requires identity verification, a valid Social Security Number, and accurate designation of payments as either 'Earnings' (commercial) or 'Personal' (non-commercial). Users must comply with tax reporting requirements, including potential 1099-K reporting and 24% backup withholding if a valid SSN is not on file.
Consumers: You must verify your identity and provide your full SSN to use Earn in P2P.
Consumers: You must correctly label payments as business or personal; falsely labeling business payments as personal can get your account suspended.
Consumers: You are responsible for paying your own taxes on business income; Cash App will report your earnings to the IRS if you exceed reporting thresholds.
Consumers: If you form a business entity while using Earn in P2P, you must stop using the service immediately; Cash App can check your eligibility anytime.
Consumers: The terms now explicitly clarify that sole proprietors can use the P2P service for business payments through Earn in P2P.
The updated terms establish a new optional service for sole proprietors to receive business payments in their personal Cash App account. Users must provide a valid nine-digit Social Security Number, accurately designate payments as 'Earnings' or 'Personal', and comply with IRS tax reporting requirements. The terms state that misdesignating payments to avoid tax thresholds violates the agreement and may result in account suspension or termination. You can enroll in Earn in P2P through the enrollment process if you meet eligibility requirements, or continue using a Cash App Business Account for business payments.
→ Verify your identity and provide your full nine-digit Social Security Number if you want to enroll in Earn in P2P
→ Accurately designate all payments you receive as either 'Earnings' (commercial) or 'Personal' (non-commercial) when using the service
→ Consult a tax advisor to understand your federal, state, and local tax obligations on business income received through Earn in P2P
