IRS Delays Digital Transaction Threshold Reporting for One Year

1099-K Reporting

The American Rescue Plan included a provision requiring third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs) to issue Form 1099-K to all taxpayers for whom they processed at least $600 in payments for the calendar year.  A TPSO is an organization like a credit card company, Venmo, PayPal, Stripe, or other similar organization that process payments.  The purpose of this reduced threshold is to increase the tax compliance of the recipients of these payments.

IRS Update for 2022 and 2023 1099-K Forms

The IRS and tax professionals had concerns about the implementation of this change and the IRS has announced that the new threshold will be delayed by one year to include payments made after 2022.  For the 2022 Forms 1099-K, the TPSOs can use the prior threshold of $20,000 and over 200 transactions.

Businesses that pay vendors with credit cards or another TPSO should not include those amounts when preparing Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC.  Only payments made by cash, check, ACH transfer or another bank transfer should be included on Forms 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC.
