1099-K Reporting

Form 1099-K can be used by third-party platforms and settlement companies (including the most popular payment applications and online marketplaces) in reporting the payment to organizations whose annual income is more than $20,000 in total payments and more than 200 transactions in a calendar year. Forms are typically issued in the year following the month of March.

HTML1 Redue and Delay

 How Does It Impact Sellers

For 2023 sellers were only required to file 1099-K reports when they had more than $20k in net transactions, and had a total of 200 transactions. The threshold will be reduced to $5,000 by 2024, there is a likely increase in the amount of sellers receiving the form. A majority of buyers are expected to get this form this first time.
