Updated on September 30, 2024 - 03.00 PM by Admin, TaxBandits

The IRS Form 1099-K is used to report payments processed by payment settlement entities (PSEs). Simply put, if you use a service to process credit or debit card transactions, that service is a payment settlement entity, and the amount of those types of transactions for the year should be reported on Form 1099-K.

This includes reporting income received from electronic payments such as credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Uber, Lyft, and other third-party payers. This article will take a deeper dive into the deadline of Form 1099-K for the 2024 Tax Year.
