¿Es esa actividad solo un pasatiempo o un negocio?

Muchas personas tienen pasatiempos, actividades que disfrutan realizar en su tiempo libre, y algunas incluso obtienen un dinero extra de ellos. Sin embargo, existe una diferencia entre un pasatiempo y un negocio, especialmente en cuanto al trato tributario que recibe cada uno al momento de presentar las declaraciones de impuestos.

Los negocios operan con el fin de generar ganancias, mientras que los pasatiempos tienen fines de placer o recreación. A continuación, se presentan algunas preguntas comunes que las personas deberían hacerse al decidir si lo que están realizando es un pasatiempo o un negocio (en inglés). Ningún factor por sí solo constituye el elemento decisivo.

Preguntas para ayudar a los contribuyentes a determinar si tienen un pasatiempo o un negocio

  • ¿Existe la intención de obtener ganancias?
  • Si la actividad genera ganancias, ¿a cuánto ascienden estas?
  • ¿Es razonable esperar obtener ganancias futuras derivadas de la apreciación del valor de los activos usados en la actividad?
  • ¿Dependen los contribuyentes de los ingresos generados por dicha actividad para su sustento?
  • ¿Se deben las posibles pérdidas a circunstancias ajenas a su control, o son pérdidas consideradas normales para la etapa inicial de un negocio de ese tipo?
  • ¿Se ajustan las operaciones con el fin de mejorar la rentabilidad?
  • ¿Se lleva a cabo la actividad de manera profesional, como si fuera un negocio, manteniendo libros y registros contables completos y precisos?
  • ¿Cuentan los contribuyentes y sus asesores con los conocimientos necesarios para gestionar la actividad como un negocio exitoso?

Los contribuyentes deben evaluar todos los factores para tomar la mejor decisión. Independientemente de la decisión que tomen, si durante el año reciben pagos a través de aplicaciones de pago por bienes y servicios, es posible que reciban un Formulario 1099-K (en inglés) del IRS por dichas transacciones. Estos pagos constituyen ingresos tributables y deben declararse en las declaraciones de impuestos federales.

Además, si recibieron pagos en forma de activos digitales, también podrían recibir un Formulario 1099-DA (en inglés). Ya sea que los contribuyentes tengan un pasatiempo o administren un negocio, mantener buenos registros contables a lo largo del año les será de gran ayuda al presentar sus declaraciones de impuestos.

It’s not too late; use IRS Free File today

IR-2026-71, June 2, 2026

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers who missed the filing deadline that they can still file their 2025 federal tax return at no cost using IRS Free File.

“IRS Free File makes it easy for taxpayers to meet their filing obligations and claim valuable tax credits at no cost,” said IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano. “As we continue to transform the IRS into a digital-first agency, tools like IRS Free File help provide a secure, convenient, and reliable filing experience for taxpayers.”

Eligible taxpayers, especially those who do not normally file a tax return, may still qualify for overlooked tax credits or refunds. More than 109 million taxpayers are eligible for free guided tax preparation through IRS Free File. Those who do not qualify can still file electronically using Free File Fillable Forms. IRS Free File remains available through Oct. 15.

IRS Free File offers guided tax software through trusted partners, helping taxpayers file accurate returns and receive refunds quickly. The program provides safe, secure, and user-friendly options for filing taxes from home.

Key benefits of IRS Free File:

  • No-cost filing: Taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of $89,000 or less can use guided tax preparation software to file their federal tax return and, in most cases, their state return for free. Those above the threshold can file electronically using Free File Fillable Forms.
  • Trusted partners: IRS-vetted tax software providers offer secure options. One partner offers services in Spanish and several offer free state tax return filing for eligible taxpayers. Each partner offers customer support.
  • Easy and secure: Step-by-step guidance includes built-in error checks.
  • Fast refunds: Filing electronically and choosing direct deposit helps taxpayers receive refunds faster.

The IRS encourages taxpayers to take advantage of this free service before the Oct. 15 deadline.

IRS Tax Tip 2026-45: Is that activity just a hobby or a business?

IRS Tax Tips

June 2, 2026

Issue Number: Tax Tip 2026-45

Is that activity just a hobby or a business?

Many people have hobbies - things they enjoy doing in their spare time - and some even make a little extra money from them. However, there’s a difference between a hobby and a business, especially how each is treated when it comes to filing taxes.
Businesses operate to make a profit while hobbies are for pleasure or recreation. Here are some common questions people should ask themselves when deciding if what they’re doing is a hobby or business. No single thing is the deciding factor.

Questions to help taxpayers decide if they have a hobby or business

  • Is there an intent to make a profit?
  • If the activity makes a profit, how much is it?
  • Can they expect to make a future profit from the appreciation of the assets used in the activity?
  • Do they depend on income from the activity for their livelihood?
  • Are any losses due to circumstances beyond their control or are the losses normal for the startup phase of their type of business?
  • Are operations adjusted to improve profitability?
  • Is the activity carried out like a business with complete and accurate books and records kept?
  • Do the taxpayers and their advisors have the knowledge needed to carry out the activity as a successful business?

Taxpayers should review all the factors to make the best decision. Regardless of the decision, if they’re paid through payment apps for goods and services during the year, they may receive an IRS Form 1099-K for those transactions. These payments are taxable income and must be reported on federal tax returns.
Additionally, if they received payment in the form of digital assets, they may also get a Form 1099-DA. Whether taxpayers have a hobby or run a business, good recordkeeping throughout the year will help when they file taxes.
