1099-K Reporting

The 1099-K form can be employed by third-party settlement businesses or even institutions (including well-known payment platforms as well as marketplaces on the internet) to aid in keeping track of transactions to companies that have a turnover of over $20,000 in total transactions and can record minimum 200 transactions each calendar year. The forms are usually issued each year before March 31.

     Delaying and reducing    

As part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 the threshold was reduced to $600 for gross payment, and the criteria for the number of transactions being completely eliminated. However, implementation of the lower threshold was frequently delayed starting in 2022, and again in 2023. So, the question is: what's in store for 2024?

Scoop in 2024. Scoop by 2024

In the last quarter of 2013, the IRS nearly wiped out the threshold to $600 however they settled on an undetermined threshold of $5, 000, with no test regarding the number of transactions. The IRS says it's slow approach to implementation of the threshold, but it's not something we can count on. The only thing we know is the threshold to report in 2024 is $5,000 for the entire duration.

It's a big change from the prior rule that required transactions to be $200 and $20,000 that was more applicable to a larger number of merchants than before.

What does this mean for Sellers

In 2023, sellers had to provide 1099-K statements if they had more than $20k in total payment, and 200 transactions. As the threshold drops to $5,000 by 2024 it is expected to increase the amount of sellers who receive this report. In reality, more than 50% are likely to get this form just for the first time.
