Good to know: Scope: the federal Form 1099-K reporting rule for payment apps and online marketplaces (third party settlement organizations), which the One, Big, Beautiful Bill reinstated retroactively: a form is required only when, in a calendar year, the payments for goods or services to you are more than $20,000 AND there are more than 200 of them. Card payments taken through a card processor are shown separately because they have no minimum. Also shows whether personal items you sold were a gain or a loss and where the IRS says to report them. Excludes state reporting rules, backup withholding, Forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC, cash tips (box 1c), business income and self-employment tax, and digital assets. It does not work out your tax.
