Key takeaway “The additional wages could potentially bump you up to a higher income tax bracket,” said Steven Warren, CPA, Schechter Dokken Kanter.
Why this matters in The Minneapolis
In the Minneapolis area, where the cost of living can be relatively high, picking up a side gig for extra money is a common strategy for making ends meet. For many residents, the prospect of being bumped into a higher income tax bracket may seem daunting, but as Steven Warren, CPA, notes, the extra cash can still be beneficial. In Hennepin County, where Minneapolis is located, the median household income is around $83,000, and many individuals may find that taking on extra work can help them stay afloat or achieve their financial goals. With the Twin Cities job market being relatively strong, there may be opportunities for residents to find side gigs that fit their skills and schedules. Ultimately, the decision to take on extra work will depend on individual circumstances, but for many in Minneapolis, the potential benefits of extra income may outweigh the potential drawbacks of a higher tax bracket.
