What exactly are Realtor.com taxes?

Typically, 1099-K forms are distributed electronically through your Realtor.com account. Keeping your contact and tax information up-to-date on your Realtor.com account will ensure that you get it on time. Remember, Realtor.com is obligated to disclose your income to the IRS so you should pay your taxes even if you don’t get a 1099-K. Your bank statements can help you total your earned income.
