Do not dispose of Form 1099-K as “waste” because, depending on the circumstances, the payment may be taxable to the filer. Form 1099-K is not a check or other form of payment. It is a record of payment for services performed and is sent to the IRS electronically. It will not be held by the filer for processing or for any legal or tax reporting purposes. Form 1099-K cannot be used as a basis for claiming the tax deduction from income. If the IRS sends a letter with Form 1099-K, mail the payment to the IRS, not to the filer or to any entity under the filer's control. The letter will indicate the amount paid to the IRS, and it will provide a copy of Form 1099-K. Form 1099-K is not a tax return substitute. The filer (or the entity under the filer's control) does not need any additional information from the filer in order to prepare a return that excludes payments for services performed by the filer in order to prevent double taxation. The filer must treat payments for services performed by the filer during a taxable year as wages. You can calculate, on tax return, the exclusion amount for services performed in that taxable year from total wages for the year. You cannot report the payment of wages as self-employment income. See Publication 525, Employers' Tax Guide, for more information. Do not treat payments of services as compensation for property or services. If the service provided is services provided in a trade or business, you must itemize the business expenses incurred by providing the services. You may be able to use the payment of services (Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-MISC-EZ) as an adjustment to income. You should contact your tax professional in each state where you provide services to determine your ability to use these forms as a method to reduce a tax return. Reporting payments of wages made for services performed in taxable years is the responsibility of the payer. Example: You serve at a restaurant in your home country and have a business in the United States. You receive payments for your services. You receive Form 1099-MISC from your payer. On your U.S. tax return you include the value of the payment with all your other income, deductions, and credits because in the U.S.

For Form 1099-K and tax information sets, a copy can be downloaded from online tax information sets or from the IRS postal mail. We encourage you to make copies of the documents because they may help you with your tax return. How do I apply Form 1099-K to my business or business entity? If you provide information on Form 1099-K (or any similar form) and it applies to more than one employee, your business may be required to report a net income and other information. For this reason, Form 1099-K may be an important tool for determining whether a business is reporting an amount of gross income and can be requested as part of the tax return. To determine whether your business is reporting an amount of gross income on line 27, check whether a taxpayer in the same classification category as you would be reporting under Form 1099-K has reported gross income. Is Form 1099-K available with my Form 1040? Yes, if the information is applicable to you, we may be able to provide the Form 1099-K to you. The most popular application of Form 1099-K is in connection with line 21 of Form 1040, where it reports your income from all sources. If you are filing under one of the following two exemption categories, you'll receive a Form 1099-K if your total gross income for the year is 1,000,000 or less, and you are an employee of a corporation or a partnership that was exempt from filing Form 1099-K. This is due to the section 501(c)(6) provision allowing certain non-profit or educational organizations to engage in charitable or public service activities.

You may attach only one Form 1099-K form. The form that you attach requires that you have furnished the required reports and statements in an itemized fashion. If you have information on the Form 1099-K that is not required on the Form 1099-MISC, the information that a taxpayer should attach to the Form 1099-K should be the information set forth on the Form 1099-MISC for that year (or another year). The following Form 1099-K forms are examples of items that can be filed on any Form 1099-K that is an accurate representation of the information reported on an item for one year: Report of Income Income Tax Return Reports of Information, Gifts and Grants Other Forms and Statements To ensure the information on the Form 1099-K is correct, review it on a separate page. If you have received a Form 1099-K for that year for which you do not have a corresponding Form 1099-MISC for that year (for example, if the taxpayer is no longer an active taxpayer or if a tax treaty applies), we cannot accept your form for that year. A taxpayer may also receive a Form 926 for that tax year that would be appropriate to use for the Form 1099-MISC. What if the Form 1099-K is incomplete? Can I have an extension? If we are unable to complete Form 1099-K for any reason, we cannot grant an extension of time to file. We will, however, consider extensions for tax years beginning in the current tax year. Any extension granted after the date of the failure on the Form 1099-K will expire at 5 p.m. Eastern time (2 p.m. Eastern time for U.S. Virgin Islands residents).

There are four categories of Form 1099-K: Employee Social Security Wage Reporting Form, which a business must file if the employee earns more than 600 or 50% of the employee's earnings. Social Security Wage Reporting Form, which a business must file if the employee earns more than 600 or 50% of the employee's earnings. Pension, Retirement, Welfare, and Survivors' Benefit, or RRW FB, Form W-2, in which a business must file if the compensation exceeds 600 and the wages are 600 or more plus 1,250 or more for each dependent of the employee.

In which a business must file if the individual is not employed (or self-employed), and any wages greater than 250, but less than 600, on which no tax was paid.

For more information about Form 1099-K go to IRS.gov What do I have to do if I have a Form 1099-K? If you received a tax return from a business in which any wage, salary, tip income, or other nontaxable benefit is reported on a Form 1099-K, you have 30 days after receiving the information from the IRS to notify the IRS or to file a claim for refund with the IRS. The IRS will then assess the amount of taxes you owe, including any penalties that may apply. If you are not a U.S. taxpayer, you cannot file a claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service, and you will not be able to seek a refund through the United States Department of Treasury. You may be able to file a claim to offset any federal income tax you have already paid.

A lot. In 2012, the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) Internal Revenue Service (IRS) received nearly 6.7 million e-filed returns, the government says. That means about 6,000 e-filed returns (or 5% of the total) are received every day. And these figures include e-filed returns filed by individuals, which the IRS does not count as taxable income because they are processed through the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) process. The IRS estimates that between 30 million and 140 million e-filed returns are received each year from individuals. Some companies have tried to use e-filed returns to get around the 1099-K filing requirement, and others offer such programs in response to a need for quick, inexpensive service. Tax Form 101 According to a 2010 IRS report, the most popular e-filed returns are: (1) for filing taxes and filing the 1099-K. (2) for paying interest and penalties, such as penalty interest charges. (3) for reporting foreign income for foreign tax credit or foreign taxes credit eligibility purposes (4) for obtaining the S corporation income tax deduction (5) for filing the 1099-K to claim the S corporation pass-through income exclusion.
