Form 1099-K is an information return that taxpayers can receive if they have made transactions through payment apps and online marketplaces. Receiving this form is crucial to correctly calculating and reporting income on your tax return.
Changes to the Reporting Limits for Form 1099-K
For tax year 2023, the $600 limit for reporting payments on Form 1099-K is delayed. The limit for tax year 2023 will continue to be payments greater than $20,000 and 200 transactions. Although taxpayers could continue to receive forms that declare less than that amount. The IRS is planning a limit of $5,000 for tax year 2024.
Taxability of Income and Form 1099-K
There are no changes in the taxability of income. All income, including income from part-time work, side jobs or the sale of goods, remains taxable. Taxpayers must report all income on their tax return, regardless of whether they receive a Form 1099-K, Form 1099-NEC, Form 1099-MISC, or any other information return.
What is not Taxable
Los pagos personales, incluyendo el dinero recibido como regalo y el reembolso de gastos compartidos, no deberían estar sujetos al Formulario 1099-K. Es importante anotar estos pagos como “personales” para evitar recibir un Formulario 1099-K inexacto en la próxima temporada de presentación.
