# What is a 1099k?

### Introduction

Form 1099-K, **Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions**, is an IRS information return used to report payment transactions received through payment card processors and third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs). This form assists in ensuring that income from goods and services is accurately reported for tax purposes.

### Who Receives a 1099-K?

For the **2025 tax year**, the One, Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB) retroactively reinstated the reporting threshold in effect prior to the passage of the
 American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). Third-party settlement organization (TPSO)(payment apps and online marketplaces) is only required to file a Form
 1099-K if a payee meets **both** of the following criteria in a calendar year:

* Gross payments exceed **$20,000**
* There are more than **200 transactions**

### Why Did I Receive a 1099-K?

You should receive a Form 1099-K if you sold a good or provided a service, you were paid through a payment app or online
 marketplace, and your **gross payments** and **transactions** are in excess of the reporting threshold, or you accepted a payment
 from a payment card for any amount. You may have a tax obligation if you had a gain on the sale of goods or received 
payment for services you provided. <br>

&#x20;goods or providing a service. You can use the information on the Form 1099-K with your other tax records to determine your
&#x20;correct tax owed.
