I agree with your point of it being a hassle, but I never understood the huge outcry about this. If I work part-time at Burger King and make $10,000/year, I would pay taxes on that. Why should the IRS not be taxing side-hustles that make 10k/year?
The argument of them not taxing the rich is sad, but also irrelevant; they didn't add a new tax on side-hustles, just re-inforced an existing one. You technically should've been paying this anyway.
Again - why? I pay taxes on my Savings Account where I earn less than a hundred dollars a year. It basically comes out to nothing.
They're just reinforcing an existing tax that you should be paying anyway. If going though your orders to figure out your tax is too much of a hassle, then maybe your side hustle wasn't worth it in the first place.
