In some excellent news for millions of eBay sellers, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced another delay of the $600 reporting threshold for Form 1099-K.
As a result, for tax year 2023, only eBay sellers who exceed the current reporting threshold of $20,000 and 200 transactions, had backup withholding applied in 2023, or are residents of states that have a lower reporting threshold will receive a Form 1099-K. For tax year 2024, the IRS announced plans for a $5,000 reporting threshold. We expect further guidance on the tax year 2024 and beyond in the coming months and will keep you in the loop.
We’ll continue to advocate on your behalf
This additional delay of the $600 tax reporting threshold follows more than two years of eBay Government Relations advocacy on your behalf. We want to thank members of our eBay Main Street community who made their voices heard on this important issue. While another delay is welcome news for millions of online sellers, we’ll continue to advocate for Congress to enact a permanent solution to reduce confusion and prevent burdensome and unnecessary reporting requirements in the future.
