The IRS 1099-k Tax Form
By Staff Reporters and IRS

***
Third party payment platforms are required to send you a 1099-K tax form if you made more than $5,000 on the platform in 2024. This reporting change will give the IRS a clearer picture of how much you earned in untaxed income this year to help ensure you pay your taxes properly. For the 2025 tax year, the threshold will drop to $2,500.
The IRS originally rolled out a plan to implement new reporting requirements for anyone earning over $600 via payment apps in 2023. After two years of delays, the tax agency has decided to implement a phased rollout, lifting the reporting threshold to $5,000 for the 2024 tax year.
If you earn freelance or self-employment income, you’re likely no stranger to 1099 tax forms. You’re required to report any net earnings over $400 to the IRS when you file your tax return, even if you don’t receive a 1099. The 1099-K tax change places a reporting requirement on payment apps so the IRS can keep better tabs on income earnings that might otherwise go unreported.
