Form 1099-K Reporting Thresholds $120,000? $600? $5,000? This is What You Must Be aware of $5,000? Here's What You Need to Be aware of

1099-K Reporting

The 1099-K form can be employed by third-party settlement platforms as well as companies (including the most popular market places and payment apps) to track the payments to businesses with a turnover over $20,000 in total payment and which have more than 200 transactions in a calendar year. Form 1099-K is usually issued the following year, on the 31st March.

Reducing and delaying

In the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the threshold was decreased to $600 as a all gross transactions, with the requirement of a test for the number of transactions eliminated completely. However, the introduction of this lower threshold was repeatedly delayed, first in 2022, and again in 2023. What's to come in 2024?

The Scoop in 2024

In the final quarter of 2013 the IRS has essentially scrapped the $600 threshold, and instead decided to go with an accidental $5,000 threshold that has no criteria for total transaction count. They are saying it's a gradual approach of the $600 threshold however it's not something we can count on to see it happen. What we do know is the threshold for reporting in 2024 is $5,000- - for the duration.

It is a significant departure from the previous two-year requirement of $2000 and 200 transactions which covered a greater number of stores than.

What Does This Mean for Sellers

The year 2023 marked the final year when sellers were required to file 1099-K forms if they had surpassed 20k in total transactions, and 200 transactions. However, with the threshold falling to $5,000 by 2024, we can expect an exponential increase in the number of sellers receiving the form. More than half likely receiving this form for the very first time.
