The platform you work with is required to file and provide you with a 1099 tax form, if you meet the following thresholds for the calendar year.
The federal thresholds for receiving a 1099 tax form differ per form type:
1099-MISC/NEC: >= $600 USD
1099-K: $5,000 USD
Although most states follow federal thresholds, some have different filing requirements. Make sure to check with your platform about your state’s reporting thresholds.
Payees having $5,000 USD in total gross volume in the previous calendar year – and are based in the US or are a US taxpayer – should expect to receive a 1099-K, either through paperless delivery or paper mailing.
**Note - prior to calendar year 2024, the 1099K threshold was $20,000 USD in total gross volume and 200 transactions.
