Stocks looked like a very concerning EKG recently, fluctuating throughout as investors weighed today’s tariff announcement. The Newsmax meme stock kept on surging, stacking a 180% gain on top of Monday’s 735% spike to skyrocket over 900% since the conservative media outlet went public earlier this week.

U.S. stocks whipped through another dizzying day Wednesday in the final hours before President Donald Trump’s unveiling of the tariffs promised as part of his “Liberation Day,” which could drastically remake the global economy. The S&P 500 rose 0.7%, but only after careening between an earlier loss of 1.1% and a later gain of 1.1%. It’s had a pattern this week of opening with sharp drops only to finish the day higher.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 235 points, or 0.6%, and the NASDAQ composite climbed 0.9%. Both also veered from sharply lower in the morning to sharply higher in the afternoon before doubling back.

Mass layoffs at health agencies begin. The purge of thousands of Health and Human Services (HHS) employees announced last week by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. started yesterday, with senior leaders at the FDA, CDC, and other departments saying they had been pushed out. Among those removed were the FDA’s chief tobacco regulator, its top veterinarian, and medical officers in charge of new drug approvals.

f you like to use Zelle to send money to others, you need to find a new solution. On April 1st, the digital payment app shut down.

IRS: Digital Income and Third Party Payment Platforms

The IRS 1099-k Tax Form

By Staff Reporters and IRS

***

***

Third party payment platforms are required to send you a 1099-K tax form if you made more than $5,000 on the platform in 2024. This reporting change will give the IRS a clearer picture of how much you earned in untaxed income this year to help ensure you pay your taxes properly. For the 2025 tax year, the threshold will drop to $2,500.

The IRS originally rolled out a plan to implement new reporting requirements for anyone earning over $600 via payment apps in 2023. After two years of delays, the tax agency has decided to implement a phased rollout, lifting the reporting threshold to $5,000 for the 2024 tax year.

If you earn freelance or self-employment income, you’re likely no stranger to 1099 tax forms. You’re required to report any net earnings over $400 to the IRS when you file your tax return, even if you don’t receive a 1099. The 1099-K tax change places a reporting requirement on payment apps so the IRS can keep better tabs on income earnings that might otherwise go unreported.
