Why Is It Important to Verify Payment Information Before the 1099-K Is Due?

Reviewing payment information before preparing Form 1099-K helps ensure the reported amounts, recipient details, and transaction information are accurate. Reviewing the data in advance also gives you time to resolve discrepancies and address missing information before the filing deadline.

Do I Need to File Form 1099-K if I Am Below the Reporting Threshold?

The federal reporting threshold for third-party network transactions does not apply in the same way to payment card transactions. Payment settlement entities should review the applicable reporting rules for the type of payment being reported before determining whether Form 1099-K is required.

Can I get an extension to file Form 1099-K?

Yes. Form 1099-K qualifies for an automatic 30-day extension. File Form 8809 electronically or by paper on or before the original due date to receive it. A separate extension, Form 15397, can be requested if you need more time to furnish recipient copies.

Tips to Meet the Form 1099-K Deadline

• Review transaction data before preparing Form 1099-K

  Reconcile payment records before preparing the forms to identify discrepancies in reported amounts or recipient information. Resolving issues before the filing deadline can help reduce the need for corrections later.

• Confirm the reporting threshold for third-party network transactions

  For 2026 transactions, third-party settlement organizations generally must report payments exceeding $20,000 and more than 200 transactions for a participating payee. Payment card transactions are subject to different reporting rules.

• Furnish recipient copies by January 31

  The recipient deadline comes before the IRS filing deadlines. Build your preparation timeline around January 31, 2027, so there is enough time to review and furnish Form 1099-K statements before the IRS filing deadline.

• Build in time for IRIS if you are transitioning from FIRE

  The IRS is retiring the FIRE system after November 19, 2026, and IRIS will be the intake system for information returns during the 2027 filing season. Filers moving to IRIS should complete their setup and allow time to address validation or filing issues before the deadline.
