1099-K Reporting

Form 1099-K is utilized by third-party settlement platforms or organisations (including the most popular payment applications and online marketplaces) in order to report payments made to businesses whose annual revenue is greater than $20,000 in total payments and must have at least 200 transactions per calendar year.
