Form 1099-K
Payments through apps and card processors
What it is
Reports the gross amount processed for you. It isn't your income: refunds, fees, personal transfers and sales of personal items at a loss aren't taxable.
Who it's for
People and businesses paid through PayPal, Venmo, Stripe, Etsy, eBay and similar platforms.
Good to know
- Selling your own used things for less than you paid isn't taxable, but you may need to show that on the return if you got a 1099-K.
- Friends-and-family transfers shouldn't be on it; ask the platform if they are.
