Why am I getting a 1099-K form?
You may receive a Form 1099-K from each payment settlement entity from which you received payments in settlement of reportable payment transactions. A reportable payment transaction is defined as a payment card transaction or a third-party network transaction. A third party network transaction may include a payment through a payment app.
- Payment card transaction means any transaction in which a payment card, or any account number or other identifying data associated with a payment card, is accepted as payment.
- Third party network transaction means any transaction that is settled through a third-party payment network, but only after the total amount of such transactions exceeds the minimum reporting thresholds.
The gross amount of a reportable payment does not include any adjustments for credits, cash equivalents, discount amounts, fees, refunded amounts, or any other amounts. The dollar amount of each transaction is determined on the date of the transaction.

What should I do with this 1099-K form?
Just because you are issued a 1099-K does not mean you owe taxes on those funds. You should consult with a tax specialist or your accountant, to determine what, if any, information from this form should be included in your business tax return.
