Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions
Information return for payments processed through payment cards or third-party settlement organizations.
Who must file: Payment-card processors and third-party settlement organizations that processed reportable transactions for participating payees.
Practical overview
Form 1099-K reporting thresholds were dramatically lowered by the American Rescue Plan Act ($600), but IRS phased implementation has resulted in transitional thresholds: $5,000 for 2024 transactions and a planned $600 threshold thereafter, subject to IRS announcements. Recipients commonly receive 1099-K for non-business activity (selling personal items at a loss) and may need to reconcile on Schedule 1 to avoid double-reporting.
Practical steps
- If issuing, identify payees meeting the current reporting threshold.
- If receiving, reconcile 1099-K amounts against business books and personal-property sales.
- Report business income on the appropriate schedule and adjust for personal-use proceeds.
- Issue recipient copies by January 31 and IRS copies by the applicable deadline.
Due-date notes
Recipient copies by January 31; IRS copies February 28 (paper) or March 31 (electronic).
Timing: January 31 / February 28 / March 31
