Will I get a 1099-K for 2023?
On November 21, 2023, the IRS announced a delay in the 1099-K forms reporting threshold for third-party platform payments in 2023 in Notice 2023-74. The IRS has been following feedback from taxpayers, tax professionals, and payment processors in regard to the new threshold change of $600 for calendar year 2023.
The IRS has received much confusion from taxpayers, tax professionals, and payment processors in regard to this new law change. As a result of the confusion, the IRS has decided that reporting will not be required unless the taxpayer receives over $20,000 and has more than 200 transactions in 2023.
With that being said, the IRS is still planning for a threshold change to become effective for 2024. The new threshold is expected to be decreased to $5,000 for tax year 2024 as part of the phase-in to implementation of the $600 reporting threshold under the American Rescue Plan.
What transactions could result in a 1099-K being issued? Some examples include sales of goods and services, selling of personal items, furniture, and other household goods that income is collected through a payment processor/online platform. Some popular platforms include eBay, PayPal, and Venmo.
It is important to note that receiving a 1099-K doesn’t necessarily mean you owe taxes on the full amount issued on the Form 1099-K. Some transactions of the 1099-K may not be business related (for example, reimbursements from your roommate for groceries). Second, you may have deductions that could offset some of the income reported on the 1099-K. It is important to consult with a tax professional if the threshold change could affect you for 2024. If you are unsure, a tax professional can help consult you on reporting procedures, and from a tax standpoint, how much this could affect your tax return.

Tax attributes
When debts are cancelled in bankruptcy cases, the cancelled amount is excluded from gross income. Tax attributes are certain losses, credits, and property basis that must be reduced to the extent of the exclusion.
