IRS Fact Sheet 2025-08 has been released, answering questions regarding the dollar threshold for filing Form 1099-K under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

The OBBBA retroactively reinstated the reporting threshold in effect prior to the passage of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, so third-party settlement organizations are not required to file 1099-Ks unless the gross amount of reportable payment transactions to a payee exceeds $20,000 and the number of transactions exceeds 200.

The requirement to file a Form 1099-K can be triggered when payments are received for goods or services through a payment settlement entity.

In addition to the threshold topics above, the IRS questions cover, among other things:

  • When a taxpayer may receive a 1099-K even if their income fell below the threshold; 
  • The definitions and thresholds of payment cards; 
  • The definition of third-party settlement organizations; and,
  • What to do if a 1099-K is incorrect.
