1099-K Reporting

The form 1099-K is utilized by third-party settlement businesses or even by institutions (including well-known payment platforms and marketplaces that are available on the internet) to keep track of transactions for firms with an annual turnover greater than $20,000. They must record more than 200 transactions within a calendar year. These forms usually are issued each year prior to or on the day of March 31.

     Delaying and reducing    

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the threshold was reduced to $600 gross and the threshold for determining the number of transactions was removed completely. But, the implementation of this lower threshold was often put off until 2022, and then in 2023. The question then becomes What's in the pipeline for 2024?

Scoop in 2024. Scoop by 2024.

The final quarter of 2013 the IRS nearly wiped out the threshold that was set at $600 but they settled on a non-definite threshold of $5,000 and did not provide any information regarding the volume of transactions. The IRS states that it has taken a slow approach to implementation of the threshold however that's the only thing we are able to rely on. We do know that the threshold to be reported in 2024 will be $5,500 for the duration of the program.

It's a major change from the prior policy that demanded transactions be in the range of $20 and $200, which was better suited to a wider number of merchants than before.

What does this mean to Sellers

In 2023, sellers could provide 1099-K statements when they made more than $20k in total transactions and more than 200 transactions. If the threshold gets decreased to $5,000 by 2024, the government is likely to boost the percentage of sellers who will receive this report. It is estimated that over 50% of sellers likely to receive this report in the beginning.
