The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) raised the federal threshold for certain information return forms and also changed Form 1099-K reporting by reinstating the prior federal TPSO threshold. For third-party network transactions, the federal threshold is more than $20,000 and more than 200 transactions. Payment card transactions remain reportable for all amounts.
Companies that process payments through credit cards and digital platforms face a heavy reporting rush at the start of each year, and this year will be no different. The IRS expects Form 1099-K to be filed accurately and on time, and late or incorrect filings can trigger avoidable penalties.
This guide walks you through the key Form 1099-K 2026TY deadlines, federal and state thresholds, exceptions, and e-file options so you can manage the Form 1099-K reporting cycle with fewer surprises.
Form 1099-K is used to report the total dollar amount a payee received through card transactions or through a third-party network during the year. It’s designed to give the IRS visibility into payments that flow through platforms rather than traditional invoicing channels.
Payers that must issue the form include:
Form 1099-K shows gross payments before fees, refunds, chargebacks, or other adjustments because the IRS relies on this total to confirm that income was reported correctly. A copy must be provided to both the seller or payee and the IRS for all reportable payment card transactions and, for third-party network transactions, when the federal reporting threshold is exceeded or whenever any amount of backup withholding has been applied.
Below are the 1099-K due dates for reporting 2026 payment activity during the 2027 tax season.
Payers typically issue seller copies first. Any responses received from sellers, such as updated addresses or name/TIN corrections, can be fixed before the IRS deadline to reduce mismatch notices later.
The filing thresholds for Form 1099-K have changed due to OBBBA.
Amounts such as shipping charges, sales tax, and tips are also usually counted toward the gross payment total.
Do not apply the $20,000/200-transaction test to every processor by default. This is because the rule depends on how the payment was settled. So, platforms like Stripe, Square, or PayPal may handle some payments as card transactions and others as third-party network transactions.
Card transactions have no federal minimum threshold. Third-party network transactions use the more-than-$20,000 and more-than-200-transactions test. So it is best to check the transaction type in your processor reports before deciding which threshold applies.
Expert Tip: Maintain clear records throughout the year to make sure that the totals align with what must be reported.
The majority of states get Form 1099-K data directly from the IRS via the Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) program. Nevertheless, some jurisdictions still require a separate direct filing even if they participate in CF/SF. For example, the District of Columbia participates in CF/SF but requires a direct state submission, and Wisconsin requires direct filing for 1099s with Wisconsin withholding, even if you use CF/SF. Always confirm your state’s current rules.
State rules can create a filing obligation below the federal threshold. Some states have historically required 1099-K reporting at lower amounts, such as $600 in Massachusetts, Vermont, and Virginia. Treat the federal $20,000/200-transaction rule as the federal TPSO test only. Then check each payee’s state for the correct reporting thresholds, direct-filing requirements, and earlier due dates before closing your filing calendar.
Platforms such as Tax1099 can automatically submit state copies on the same day the federal file is sent, which helps payers stay compliant with both sets of rules.
Payers that need a 1099-K extension, i.e., additional time to file the form, can request an extension by filing Form 8809. This form generally grants an automatic 30-day extension to file with the IRS when it is filed by the original due date of the information returns. However, the extension applies only to the IRS filing deadline, not when recipient copies are due.
As for the mandatory 10-returns e-file rule, if a payer files 10 or more information returns of any type combined (for example, Forms 1099, W-2, or 1042-S), eFiling is required, unless the payer has a waiver, exempting them.
The IRS may assess penalties when forms are filed late, incorrectly, or not at all. Below are the standard penalty amounts for returns filed during 2026 TY, reported in 2027:
One way to reduce the risk of incurring penalties is by keeping TIN records accurate, reviewing the payment totals prior to filing, and sending seller copies early so that payees have time to find and fix any differences.
Keep your Form 1099-K reporting on track with this simple 90-day roadmap:
After filing, keep copies of information returns (or be able to reconstruct the data) for at least three or four years from the due date.
Yes. Paper filing is allowed when the payer submits fewer than 10 total information returns across all form types.
No. Seller copies must be provided by February 1, 2027, even if an IRS extension is requested.
A corrected Form 1099-K should be issued as soon as possible. Early corrections reduce the risk of penalties.
Some states, such as Vermont and Wisconsin, may set earlier reporting dates. Filing platforms check state rules automatically.
No. Personal gifts and reimbursements that are marked as “non-business” are not reportable.
For 2027 filings, furnish 1099-K payee copies by Monday, February 1, 2027, file with the IRS by March 1, 2027, on paper (only if you file fewer than 10 total information returns or have a waiver) or by March 31, 2027, electronically.
