Form 1099-K Reporting Thresholds $120,000? $600? $5,000? Here's What You Need to Learn $5,000?

1099-K Reporting

Form 1099-K is utilized by third-party settlement platforms and companies (including well-known payment apps and online marketplaces) in order to record transactions made to merchants with annual transactions exceed $20,000 of total gross transactions and includes at least 200 transactions during an entire calendar year. The forms are typically given the next year before March 31.

 Redue and Delay

With the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 The threshold was lowered to $600 in all payments made via net as well as the requirement to test the number of transactions was eliminated completely. The introduction of the threshold lower has been delayed several times, initially in 2022, and again in 2023. The next question is: what's in store in 2024?

The Scoop 2024

In the last quarter of 2013, the IRS all decided to scrap the threshold of $600 and instead settled on an undetermined amount of $5,000 which has no requirements to determine the total number of transactions. They're using a phased approach to implement the threshold of $600 but there's no possibility of it happening anytime soon. The only thing we know is the report threshold in 2024 is $5,000 for the duration.

This is a major modification from the earlier 200 and $20,000 transactions which covered a greater number of retailers than before.

How Does It Impact Sellers

2023 was the last time that sellers were only required to file 1099-K reports when they reached the threshold of $20k for gross transactions as well as 200 transactions. However, with the threshold dropping to $5,000 for 2024, we anticipate an exponential increase in number of sellers who will receive the form. A majority of buyers are expected to be receiving this form for the first time.
