If you\u2019re one of the millions of people who use a digital payment service and you received or made payments through it for part-time work or goods and services, you\u2019ll need a new tax form.<\/a><\/p>\n

People whose payments exceed $20,000 and have more than 200 transactions for the year will receive a 1099-K form in the mail from payment card companies, according to the IRS.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA payment app or online marketplace is required to send you a Form 1099-K<\/a> if the payments you received for goods or services total over $20,000 in more than 200 transactions,\u201d the agency noted on its website. \u201cHowever, they may send you a Form 1099-K with lower amounts and\/or transactions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The IRS noted that despite the money and transaction limit for the 1099-K to be sent out taxpayers \u201cmust report all income on your tax return. This includes payments for any goods you sell (including personal items such as clothing or furniture sold at a gain) or services you provide.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, if you use digital payment apps to transfer money to friends or family as a gift or to repay a personal expense, you don\u2019t need to report it because it isn\u2019t taxable income.<\/p>\n
