How Intuit generates Form 1099-K

Learn how and why Intuit generates a Form 1099-K.

What’s Changing?

The IRS is delaying the 1099-K threshold change for third-party settlement organizations (TPSO). Taxpayers and small businesses will not receive a 1099-K from TPSOs for tax year 2023 (taxes you’ll file in 2024) unless the gross amount of reportable payments exceeds $20,000 and the number of such transactions exceeds 200. The IRS now plans to use the 2024 tax year (taxes you’ll file in 2025) as a transition year with a threshold of $5,000.

What Does This Mean?

For tax year 2023, you'll get a Form 1099-K if the gross amount of reportable payments exceeds $20,000 and the number of such transactions exceeds 200. You can download your Form 1099-K from the Merchant Service Center by January 31st. Here's how:

1. Sign in to the Merchant Service Center.
2. From the Activity & Reports menu, select Download Form 1099-K.
3. Select Download.
