  • New rules about reporting 1099-K forms

    • Form 1099-K (Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions) is used by credit card companies and third party processors like PayPal and Venmo to report transactions processed for retailers and other third parties.
    • On December 23, 2022 the IRS announced a delay in reporting thresholds for third-party settlement organizations for tax year 2022 (taxes filed in 2023). As a result of this delay, well-known third party settlement organizations (TPSOs) were not required to report tax year 2022 transactions on a Form 1099-K to the IRS or the payee for the lower, more than $600 threshold amount enacted as part of the American Rescue Plan of 2021.
    • On November 21, 2023 IRS announced another delay in reporting thresholds for third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs) set to take effect for tax year 2023( the taxes you file in 2024). As a result of this delay the TPSOs will not be required to report tax year 2023 transactions on a Form 1099-K to the IRS or the payee for the lower, over $600 threshold. Per the IRS, this means that for tax year 2023 the existing 1099-K reporting threshold of the aggregate of more than $20,000 in payments from over 200 transactions will remain in effect.
    • If you're self-employed and accept credit, debit, or prepaid cards, you may receive Form 1099-K for transactions processed by a third party. This includes creators, influencers, rideshare drivers, or
      side-giggers.
    • If you're an online seller selling on platforms like Ebay, AirBnB, Etsy, and VRBO you may also receive Form
      1099-K.
