Do personal loans have to be reported?

Personal loans generally aren’t taxable because the money you receive isn’t income. Unlike wages or investment earnings, which you earn and keep, you need to repay the money you borrow. Because they’re not a source of income, you don’t need to report the personal loans you take out on your income tax return.
