What is a 1099-K? Keep What You Earn
-
- Entrepreneurship
If you accept credit cards in your business, you'll likely be receiving a 1099-K. These are 1099s from your payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, etc.
There are some nuances to pay attention to here. The number on the 1099 they send will likely be the gross amount you sold through their service. But you get charged a processing fee right? What you need to do is report the full amount on the 1099-K and then deduct the processing fee as an expense.
Note: This episode was recorded prior to an announcement by the IRS that they would not be making this change to lower the 1099-K reporting threshold to $600 from $20,000. For 2022 reporting, the threshold remains at $20,000.
