Form 1099-K
The IRS information return that payment processors and marketplaces issue when annual gross receipts cross a reporting threshold.
Form 1099-K reports gross payment-card and third-party-network receipts (Stripe, PayPal, Amazon, Etsy, Shopify Payments). The federal threshold for 2026 is $5,000 in gross payments per processor, with a planned drop to $600 in subsequent years. Some states (Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Maryland) have $600 thresholds already in effect. Receiving a 1099-K does not change actual taxable income, but failing to reconcile it against your books triggers IRS automated under-reporter notices.
