1099-K Reporting

The form 1099-K is used by third-party settlement companies and platforms (including those with the best-known payments applications as well as online marketplaces) for reporting payments to businesses whose annual revenue is greater than $20,000 from the total amount of transactions and who are required to have at minimum 200 transactions in a calendar year. They are usually issued within the year's calendar that begins after the 31st March.

     Reducing and delaying    

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the threshold decreased to $600 net total payments, and the requirement to test count of transactions was removed completely. The reduction of the threshold has been delayed multiple times, beginning in 2022, before it was renewed in 2023. What's next for 2024?

In the last quarter of 2013, the IRS almost wiped out the $600 threshold, but instead came up with a threshold of $5,000 without a test to determine the number of transactions. The IRS claims that it's a gradual approach to the $600 threshold however we're not waiting for a confirmation about it. We do know that the reporting threshold in 2024 is $5,000 over the period of.

This is a major modification from the previous requirement for transactions of $200 or $20,000 which were more applicable to a wider range of stores than it did before.

     What does it mean for Sellers    

The year 2023 was the last year that sellers would only be subject to 1099-K tax when they could show greater than $20,000. and had over 200 transactions. With the threshold decreasing to $5,000 by 2024, there will be more of sellers who receive this form. Indeed, it is more than half of them will receive the form at the first time.

We keep up with the constant shifts in tax laws and regulations, so that you don't have to stay on top so that you can concentrate on growth as we take care of the tax-related complexities that exist globally.
