The IRS recently announced a delay in implementing the new reporting requirements for third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs). Examples of TPSOs include Venmo, PayPal and CashApp. These new reporting requirements were enacted as part of the American Rescue Plan of 2021 and were set to take effect for this upcoming tax season.
