• New Threshold: The IRS has introduced a new threshold – if you've earned a minimum of $600 across any number of transactions by the time you file your 2023 taxes, you'll receive a 1099-K. This update means more individuals will receive this form, emphasizing the importance of monitoring your Payhip.com revenue, regardless of its magnitude.

Recent IRS Update: 1099 Reporting Guidelines

Anticipated modifications were under discussion for the 1099-K form reporting guidelines for the 2023 tax year. The changes would impact both the minimum number of transactions and the previous $20,000 reporting threshold. However, the IRS recently declared that the reporting threshold remains unchanged. The proposed reduction to $600 has been deferred until the 2024 tax year.
