1099-K Reporting

The 1099-K form can be employed by third-party settlement platforms and companies (including the most popular marketplace sites and payment applications) to track the payments for businesses that have a turnover of greater than $20,000 with more than 200 transactions within a calendar year. The form 1099-K usually is issued next year on the 31st of March.

     Delaying and reducing    

In the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the threshold lower to $600 in totality of transactions. This was followed by the requirement of testing on the number of transactions eliminated completely. But, the implementation of the lower threshold was frequently delayed initially in 2022 then in 2023. What's in store for 2024?

The Scoop in 2024

In the final quarter of 2013, the IRS have essentially eliminated the threshold of $600, and instead decided to go with a fictitious $5,000 threshold which has no requirements to determine the total number of transactions. It's claimed to be an incremental approach to the threshold of $600, but it's something that we cannot count on to see it happen. We do know that the minimum threshold to report for 2024 is $5,000 - for the duration.

It is a significant departure from the earlier two-year rule that was $2000 plus 200 transactions that covered more of retailers than.

     What Does It Mean for Sellers    

The year 2023 marked the final year when sellers were required to file 1099-K forms if they had more than 20k total transactions or 200 transactions. With the threshold falling to $5,000 by 2024, there will be an increase of exponential proportions in the amount of sellers receiving the 1099-K form. Over half are likely to receive this form only for the first time.
